Kingdom Keeper Books - A must read for Disney fanatics of all ages

[ColoradoDis]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this or not...but one way to get your teens even more excited about your upcoming trip.

My DD16 found the first Kingdom Keeper book - Disney after Dark at the gift shop in the Grand Floridian on our last trip (2006). The author is Ridley Pearson (who also co-authored the Peter Pan pre-quels with Dave Barry). A new book came out in 2008 titled "Kingdom Keepers II - Disney at Dawn".

The books feature teens heros facing Disney "evil doers", i.e., Maleficent and pirates. The stories incorporate the rides in the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

DD16 says the books are fun for all who like mysteries and Disney magic.

I forgot to add that you can order the books from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

My 11 year old and I have read both too. He loved them. I thought they were kind of neat.

Do you think they are appropriate for a 9 yr old? DS has read and enjoyed Harry Potter books, Chronicles of Narnia, and the Series of Unfortunate Events books.

These are fun books! You can tell that Pearson has really done his research.

My DD said that she thinks that they are definately appropriate for a 9 year old - especially one who has enjoyed those books.

Since this thread isn't really about theme park planning, I've moved it to the Theme Parks Community board.
