Just started reading book one, and I'm hooked. I still can't believe I didn't know about this series before.

I've only just started, but I would say yes...the first book sets up the story.

Okay, pardon my ignorance - with the Olympics going I'm not checking in here very much - so what is this book series about?

Its about 5 teenagers fighting evil forces in the Disney parks after dark. Its a young adult book series, but I'm a young adult at heart! They are very entertaining.

Here's a brief synopsis from Amazon....

When Disney comes looking for five teenagers to serve as actors for a new technology-Daylight Hologram Images, or DHIs-there is more to it than meets the eye. Strange things have been happening inside the Florida park: parts from one ride are found mysteriously moved to another; in the Fantasmic! show, the dragon unexplainably triumphs over Mickey; little blips in story lines and "offstage" antics by characters trouble managers. Finn Whitman, a middle-schooler, goes to sleep one night and has the dream of a lifetime: he "wakes up" inside Disney World as his DHI character, a glowing hologram. He meets an old man there, Wayne, who claims to be one of the original Imagineers and explains to Finn that he "and your friends" have a mission to save the park from forces that humans can neither see nor hear. Not believing his dream, but not totally discounting it, Finn, back in real life, sets out to find the four other kids who were chosen to be DHIs and in doing so he learns an eerie fact: he is not alone in this "dream." The others have had similar experiences.

Sounds interesting. How mature/immature is it? Last time I checked, middle schoolers did not even qualify as "young" adults. If it's not extremely juvenile, I might check out the first one.

I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter series and Rick Riorden's Percy Jackson series, the Kingdom Keepers series is a little less dark & "thrilling" but really cool if you love the Disney Parks.

Have not yet read Mousejunkies, but it will be put on my list as soon as I'm done the Kingdom Keeper series. DisneyDee you rock for mentioning it in one of your posts...without you, I would still be in the dark!

Ok, so what is Mousejunkies? I probably qualify based upon the name alone.

Completely random (I think)..

I happened to see them for sale at the cashier in one of the stores in Frontierland in MK...the walkway between Liberty and Frontier. Looks pretty cool!
