Kingdom Keeper II Disney at Dawn

This is the 2nd book written for young adults/ Jr high kids I think.
It follows a group of kids who are battling the villains of Disney World to stop them from taking over the parks.
Being a Disney fan this alone was reason to pick up book 1. Since it was a good fun read I went to book 2 and enjoyed it more than book 1.
This time they are spending most of their battle and time in the animal kingdom. The behind the scenes information on how the park runs is worth the read itself. (In my mind at least)
The action was faster and more detailed. The solution not as simple as the first book.
I still think the author could write a bit more grown up. If Harry Potter proved one thing it is that kids can handle deep writing if done well.
While I don;t think this is trying to be another Harry Potter I do see the following happening, if only from the Disney freaks like me.
I would suggest this if you are a Disney fan or if you want a good clean fun quick read. Remember it is written for the younger set but it is still enjoyable if you don't mind that type of book.
