The fifth novel in the Kingdom Keepers series takes to the high seas!
As
the Disney Fantasy joins the cruise fleet, a special treat is in store for
guests aboard its inaugural sail from Cape Canaveral to Los Angeles: the Disney
Host Interactive teenage guides will be part of the Fantasy crew.
Finn,
Maybeck, Charlene, Willa, and Philby are to attend the cruise as celebrity
guests, and to perform a ribbon cutting for the DHI server to go live. The
Fantasy is now the most advanced cruise ship in the world.
But all is not
right below decks. Strange things are happening. Unexplained phenomena. Only the
Kingdom Keepers know the truth behind their invitation: nearly every Disney
villain is represented on board the new ship: whether on its decks or in its
theaters. It's believed the Overtakers have infiltrated the cast and are
"stowaways." Worse: it is believed they have stolen an important journal that
once belonged to Walt Disney himself--Finn has been having dreams about
this--and that some kind of mission is planned.
The ship sets sail filled
with enthusiastic guests and crew, and the battle is on in new and exotic
arenas: the beaches of Castaway Cay, the caves of Aruba, the locks of the Panama
Canal, Costa Rica's rain forest zip line . . . But the end game is far more
complicated and intense than anything the Kingdom Keepers had planned on. If the
Overtakers get their way, a power will be unleashed that no one will have the
ability to vanquish: Chernabog, dormant for years, is about to have his full
powers restored. . . .
