Award-winning author and St. Louis's own Ridley Pearson presents the third book in the Kingdom Keepers series, Disney in Shadow. When Disney Imagineers installed hologram guides for the Magic Kingdom using teenage models, they had no idea the technology might backfire. But backfire it did: some nights when the kids go to sleep, they wake up in one of the Disney Parks as a hologram. With the adventures in the first books behind them, the five teens head to Epcot in search of Wayne, their mentor and head Imagineer, who has mysteriously gone missing. This event is part of Read St. Louis. | 16
