Kingdom Keepers, by Ridley Peason

Finn Whitman is a normal, everyday middle schooler going into highschool; that is, until he auditions for Disney World’s new DHI, Disney Host Interactive, guiding system. Four others are chosen with him as the models, people he has never met, nor thinks he will ever see them again, until one night, he wakes up on a bench inside Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. A man who is there, Wayne Kresky, explains to Finn that when Walt Disney created the characters in the Disney movies, he made them real, and the evil ones were trying to take over the Disney Parks. The DHI’s were created as an excuse to bring the kids to the parks, each chosen for their own abilities, where they must prevent the evil Disney characters from taking over the parks. They would become, the Kingdom Keepers.
An excellent series, the Kingdom Keepers is one of the best and well thought out series that I have ever read. For each of the seven books, there is a subplot, but one main plot throughout the entire series. Each book leaves you itching for the next for the next one throughout the series.
