AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Eli Whitman is turning 13 today, but his parents are out of town, having been called in to some secret meeting with Disney Corp in California. Eli and his parents live in the Communitree – the subdivision built around Disney’s Epcot. Most of his other friends are cool – their parents have known each other since before the kids were all born. Scoot, however, is kind of a bully and taunts Eli to use Finn Whitman’s sword (which Eli is NOT allowed to touch) is his VR battle with Jafar and Eli rips open a hole in time and space instead – allowing two mysterious figures to jump through. Now Eli and his real friends are the ones who must step in and stop the Disney villains’ latest plot to take over the world.
A fun, if complicated, introduction to the newest generation of Kingdom Keepers. You have to have read all of the other books (well, at least 3 or so of them) to understand the Kingdom Keeper background. Very fast-paced and involved. A good buy if you still have the whole series on your collection. Eli is white, but his friends are a diverse group like the original Keepers.
