Some cool news about Kingdom Keepers book series.

Hey all, Main Street VMK here. Most of you have read Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark, and have been waiting one or two years waiting for the second book. I have some great news for you, it's coming out in August! TellMeAboutIt and I have been looking at Ridley Pearson's blog, and we have found some really cool news for everyone who likes Kingdom Keepers, and VMK!

KK2 is about Animal Kingdom. I've entered into a separate deal to write a YA "thriller" set on Broadway--a series, actually: Backstage Pass.

This quote tells about which park KK (Kingdom Keepers) is going to be set on, and a new series!

I'm hoping to write five or more Kingdom Keepers. Only time will tell.
Thanks for the enthusiasm!
Ridley

Maybe five more books! Maybe MGM, EPCOT, Disneyland, California Adventure, and another park? Maybe Disneyland Paris?

Ridley said...

The Kingdom Keepers is being resubmitted to Disney Films for consideration. Keep your fingers crossed.
Ridley

Hooray! Maybe we will see a KK Movie after all!

FILM: Yes, there is a Peter and the Starcatchers animated theatrical film in the works.

Won't know about Kingdom Keepers for another month or two. If it does go, and if there are auditions, I'll let everyone know.

Register on the ridleypearson.com site for the newsletter, where there will be updates.

Peter and the Starcatchers animated film... But there has been no news from the newsletter.

Here's the catalog copy for Kingdom Keepers 2:

Kingdom Keepers: The Rise of The Chernabog
Disney At Dawn

It's supposed to be a happy day at the Magic Kingdom – the return of the teenage, holographic hosts. But things go very wrong when a sudden lightning storm disrupts the celebration, and Amanda's mysterious sister, Jez, disappears. The only clue is the sighting of a wild monkey in the Magic Kingdom during the storm.

The mystery deepens as Finn is contacted by Wayne, an old man he hasn't heard from in months. Wayne tells Finn that there's trouble at the Animal Kingdom: the evil Overtakers have gained control of one of the computer servers that will be used to operate Daylight Holographic Imaging there. That means that if any of the holographic hosts fall asleep, they will go into comas – permanently.

With time running out, Finn, Philby, and Maybeck, along with Willa and Charlene, and Amanda, begin a desperate search, following a string of cryptic clues found inside the diary of the missing Jez. They must find and destroy the second server before they fall asleep; their survival -- and the future of the parks – depend on their success.

Filled with action and brimming with the same meticulous detail as Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark, this second book in the series — Disney At Dawn --is the result of hands-on research behind the scenes at the Animal Kingdom. Young and older readers alike will get a glimpse into a second Disney kingdom. The wild rides have only just begun; and the clock is ticking. How long can the teens keep themselves awake in their quest to find their friend — and what happens if they fail?

I would love to read your comments about the movie, and the next book.
