About this book

Five ordinary Orlando teens are turned into holographic park guides for Walt Disney World—and discover the technology works a little too well after dark. As DHI avatars, they slip into the parks at night and face Disney villains who are plotting to take over the Magic Kingdom and beyond. With puzzles to solve, rides that come alive, and danger around every corner, the kids must learn to trust one another and use their unique strengths. Fast-paced and imaginative, it’s perfect for Disney fans and adventure seekers who like a good mystery with a touch of tech.

Setting: Walt Disney World in Orlando, present day—mostly after hours inside the theme parks
