With the adventures set forth in the first books now behind them, Kingdom Keepers 3: 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 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 want desperately to steer the parks to a far darker place-the five kids pick up a major clue from a close friend, Jess, whose dreams (nightmares, really) often accurately predict the future. The very few clues from Jess's dream lead the kids into Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot-through imaginary worlds that become real, by imaginary kids who are real. Each clue seems tied to the last, and with the stakes growing ever higher, what starts out as a puzzle ends up as a fight for their lives. Through a transparent paper box, a quest for a sword, rides on Soarin' and Maelstrom, life-and-death encounters with giant snakes, and a devious Maleficent, the Kingdom Keepers not only begin to decipher deeper meanings to the clues, but discover new truths about themselves and their ever-growing friendships.

legacy stretching him to larger-than-life proportions.
But before his rise to fame, he was just "Teedie," a boy with
ambitious dreams to change the world, and the conviction to see his
stupendous imaginings brought to fruition.
As an American president, he left an impressive mark upon his
country. He promised a "square deal" to all citizens, he tamed big
businesses, and protected the nation's wildlife and natural beauty.
His fearless leadership assured that he would always be remembered,
and his robust spirit now dares others to do mighty things.

brought to life.
