The evil Overtakers are rocking the boat on the Disney Cruise Line!

The teen protectors of Disney World have uncovered a startling truth: Maleficent and the Disney villains are plotting a catastrophic event that could have repercussions far beyond the world of Disney.

Aboard the Disney Cruise Line's inaugural passage through the new Panama Canal, the Keepers and their holograms uncover a puzzle hidden within the pages of a stolen journal. The point of that puzzle will reveal itself in the caves of Aruba, the zip lines of Costa Rica, and the jungles of Mexico. A destructive force, dormant for decades, is about to be unleashed. The five Kingdom Keepers are to be its first victims.

St. Louis writer Ridley Pearson is the award-winning co-author, along with Dave Barry, of the "Peter and the Starcatchers" series. In addition to the Kingdom Keepers series, Pearson is also the author of the young adult thrillers "Steel Trapp: The Challenge" and "Steel Trapp: The Academy." He has written more than twenty bestselling crime novels for adults.
