About this item
When Disney Imagineers installed hologram guides for the Magic Kingdom using teenage models, they had no idea the technology might backfire. But backfire it did some nights when the kids go to sleep, they wake up in one of the Disney parks as a hologram. With the adventures in the first books now resolved, Kingdom Keepers III Disney in Shadow follows the five teens-Finn, Philby, Willa, Charlene, and Maybeck-as they search to find Wayne, their mentor and head Imagineer, who has mysteriously gone missing. Concerned that Wayne has been abducted by the Overtakers-Disney villains, who along with other Disney characters, take over the parks when the turnstiles stop spinning and who want desperately to steer the parks to a far darker place-the five kids pick up a majorclue from their close friend whose dreams nightmares, really often accurately predict the future.
