Path of Beasts - The Keepers #3 (Lian Tanner)


Path of Beasts - The Keepers #3
Lian Tanner

Blurb: I'm fifth keeper of the museum of Dunt and I'm back where I belong.

When Goldie, Toadspit and Bonnie steal into Jewel in the middle of the night, they find their city under the heel of the Fugleman, and the streets controlled by the Blessed Guardians and an army of ruthless mercenaries. The museum itself is seething with danger. Goldie, Toadspit and Bonnie must use all their clever tricks and hard-won bravery to undermine the Fugleman's brutal regime before he rounds up the children of Jewel.

But in order to save the children and defeat the Fugleman once and for all, Goldie must walk the Beast Road, an ancient pathway deep inside the museum, a pathway so secret and perilous that no one has ever returned from it. According to the old stories, she can take only two companions, and they must be mortal enemies...

Disney At Dawn: Kingdom Keepers II (Ridley Pearson)

Disney At Dawn: Kingdom Keepers II
Ridley Pearson

Blurb: It's supposed to be a happy day at the Magic Kingdom - the teenage holographic hosts have returned. But things go very wrong when a sudden lightning storm disrupts the celebration, and Amanda's mysterious sister, Jez, dissapears. 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 if any of the holographic hosts fall asleep, they will go into comas - permanently. Filled with action and brimming with the same meticulous details as The 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 Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. Younger 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 friends - and what happens in they fail?

Museum of Thieves - The Keepers (Lian Tanner)

Museum of Thieves - The Keepers
Lian Tanner

Blurb: 'You're in the museum now and anything can happen!'

Goldie Roth lives in the city of Jewel, where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime. But Goldie is both bold and impatient. She runs away to the mysterious Museum of Dunt, where she meets a boy named Toadspit and discovers dangerous secrets. A monstrous brizzlehound stalks the museum's corridors, and only a thief can find the way through its strange, shifting rooms.

Goldie and Toadspit have a talent for thieving. Which is just as well, because the treacherous Fugleman has his own plans for the museum - plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a very bold thief to stop him.

A thrilling tale of action and adventure.
