When I was reading the . . . third book, I think, no, I was taking it home from the library. I think. So, my brother asks me who Finn is, and I answer "Me." So, I also told him that Amanda was also the girl that I like, and he's like "Good choice!" and I'm like, "Why?" and he said that they kiss like four times in the fourth one. I was really happy about that. Thank you, Ridley Pearson!!!!

[a:Ridley Pearson|6244|Ridley Pearson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1263049167p2/6244.jpg] Kingdom Keepers IV: Power Play is the fourth installment of the series by Ridley Pearson. The story follows the keepers as they try to protect Disney World and its magic from the Over takers - classic Disney villains including Maleficent and the Evil Queen from Snow White.

Overall, if you are a fan of the series, this book will not disappoint you. Fans of Disney characters and parks will appreciate all of the Disney aspects. Disney characters are abundant in this book including Ariel from the Little Mermaid, Pluto and Minnie. It possesses as many thrills, twists, and action as the first three books. Unlike its predecessors, Power Play does not focus exclusively on a single park. Instead, the readers get to witness the keepers grow-up from inexperienced kids to awkward teenagers. They are experiencing what all ninth graders go through on their quest to adulthood; from love triangles between Finn, Amanda, and Charlene to bullies. Of course, they still cross over into the Disney parks as their DHIs, but readers can tell that the story is evolving and budding, waiting for the incredible series climax.

I think that Pearson does a good job, bringing the readers up to speed on what happened in the previous books without feeling like it is a one- or two-chapter summary. However, I would definitely recommend reading the previous books if you are new to the series.

I was disappointed in the depiction of the parents of the keepers. While Pearson does a decent job capturing the various attitudes of youth, he falls off the wagon when it comes to the adults. They are completely unpredictable and do not add much to the story. If you can get past the parents, the book is very enjoyable.

As the Keepers start their freshman year of high school, Philby receives a strange video warning him that the Over takers are once again trying to cause trouble by trying to rescue some of their captive leaders. They must try to save their leaders and themselves from any danger. This book is a really good book I recommend it to anyone who likes mystery and fantasy. All of the Kingdom Keepers books are mystery and fantasy if you like those kinds of books :)

Book 4 brings in the villains from Snow White, Mulan, and 101 Dalmations.

"For the five teens who modeled as Disney Hologram Imaging hosts, life is beginning to settle down when an intriguing video arrives to Philby's computer at school. It's a call for action: the Overtakers, a group of Disney villains, seem to be plotting to attempt a rescue of two of their leaders."

I was kinda sad that Willa wasn't there at the end. Eagerly awaiting for Finn and Amanda to get together and to see what Ursula is gonna do.

I really love the Kingdom Keepers series. The friendship between all the kids is so wonderful and wholesome. The stakes appropriately rose in the fourth book, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
