Not Only Hosts, But Friends

Summary 

The hosts just came up with a new plan to stop the Overtakers, they wanted to keep a close watch in the Hunted House and The Pirates of the Caribbean, because they were sure that ghosts and pirates will be with the Overtakers. It was Halloween season and in Magic Kingdom there was going to be a huge costume party which they decided they will go as normal kids, not holograms and of course with their costumes. They thought that it was going to be the perfect opportunity for the Overtakers to disguise and not be notice, especially Maleficent. Once in the party, all the hosts with their costumes Finn suddenly found Jez and she was dressed as a witch he remembered what Amanda told him about her and what she suspected about her. Jez had this weird attitude and Finn started to worry about it, she has range abilities, she could catch things that were practically one millimeter from the floor.
Then Finn found Amanda, she told Finn that all the cold and everything that happened when he was trying to get the Stonecutters Quill (pen) was because of her, because of Jez. Amanda wanted to tell him the truth but then like an act of magic she shuddered. Finn started to understand this whole thing. Jezebel in the Bible meant evil...They saw Jez with a very tall woman talking to her and pointing at them. Now all make sense. Jez was a witch, Maleficent's daughter. Then Finn, Philby and Maybeck went inside a battlement and they could see how the jail cells were all refurbished and then is when they found out that the Overtakers were going to take over and there is were they would lock the employees so they can't get out. Then Maleficent appeared and they felt that extreme cold all over their bodies. Maleficent was not alone, she was with Jez, she let Philby and Maybeck leave because they didn't had what she was looking for. Finn had it, Finn had the pen. They were able to scape but they knew she wouldn't give up without that pen.
They ask for Wayne's help. They elaborated a plan that will take place the next morning at the park, as normal kids not holograms because if they Cross over then Maleficent will be waiting for them so whatever they had to do, they had to do it during the day because there is when Maleficent is weak and doesn't have powers.. Amanda was part of the plan.
The plan consisted that they will all look like employees from the park and will go to the building were all the trash is transported by underground and will try to find Maleficent.
They went to the office were is located the control center and there is where they were able to find Maleficent and set her a tramp. She got furious, violent and more powerful. She wanted the Stonecutters Quill and she would do anything to get it.
Finn found Jez, she started attacking him, people thought it was a show but it wasn't. Suddenly Finn felt again that freezing cold but he managed to handle it and attack Jez. Then Jez met eyes with Finn and she said Finn just set her free. She turned into a girl with totally different hair color, and her skin was more colorful and her eyes more beautiful and then is when he realize, she looked exactly as Amanda, they were twins! Amanda was trying to save her from Maleficent. Now they managed to punished Maleficent and solve the fable. No they weren't only the hosts, now they were a team, now they were friends.

"Finn said, "Jez is a witch. And so is her mother."
pg 273

When I read this I just could not believe it. That could never come up to my head, it was completely unexpected. I read this and I thought, Jez is evil, Jez is not a human she has always been a witch. But is that what she really wanted? Is that what she asked for? After finishing this book I could completely understand everything that happened, she was Maleficent's prisoner and the book never confirmed that Jez was actually Maleficent's daughter but we do know that he is Amanda's twin sister.  And Amanda the only she wanted was to get her sister back and I do believe that is a super humble act and I could connect with that because my sister and I are really close and I would not stand looking at her and she is not her, she is a completely different person and I would do anything just to get her back.

"I can't believe it." As her eyes met Finns, she cried out, "Im....free!"
"Free from what?" Finn wondered.
"You did it!" Jez said to Finn, her eyes bright, her voice excited. "No more cold, no more Maleficent. You freed me!"...Amanda's face fill with light with an expression of joy Finn had never seen. Tears filled her eyes...They were sisters, twin perhaps, not identical but close to it..."Is Jez who I think she is?" "Jess not Jez, not anymore. How can we ever thank you?"
pg315-316

This was even more unexpected because I thought Amanda was related to Walt Disney but at the end she was only trying to save her sister that was only a victim. Now my question is free from what? I wonder exactly the same as Finn. I can infer that Maleficent turn her into a witch or both Amanda and Jess are witches but good witches and Maleficent wanted to raise someone and turn her into what she is now. But I can't know if my inferences are correct because the book never actually told us.








Final Thoughts

Finally The Kingdom Keepers is an amazing book that is so fun and interesting that you just one to keep reading and reading and can't wait for what happens next. It has teach me a lot of things such as taking risks and believing in yourself and most importantly trust. The hosts took the risk of fighting against the most powerful witch in the whole world just to be able to save Magic Kingdom and even thought they were only kids they could manage to find their inner strength and believe in themselves. Most importantly they learn how to trust each other and work as a team and it worked. I really am looking forward to read the next book and be able to find an answer to all my questions!

MY FIRST PEN

Summary 

With Maybeck still asleep and crossed over Finn was very worry and ready to get him back. Finn trust Amanda and she knew what he did each night, one day riding their bikes Finn and Amanda were taking about rhymes and she said that rhymes is a sign of witches, then he felt a familiar cold, the one he usually gets when there is an Overtaker any near and suddenly Amanda told him to ride as fast as he could and then she shouted what sounded like a foreign language. Now Finn started to question who Amanda was. Then Finn was back at the park with Philby, they wanted to get Maybeck back so they hurry for Wayne's help. Wayne told them that Maleficent had everything to do about what was going on and besides Maleficent there were so many other Overtakers such as the pirates. Wayne told them were they should look to find Maybeck which would be a place with a lot of noise that no one could listen to Maybeck´s screams. They went to Space Mountain and with this theme about being an hologram they could pass through walls and thats how they found Maybeck. 

The next step for them and one of the clues of the Stonecutters Quill was wind. Charlene and Willa went to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh which is were there was a song that said “Happy winds day”. They had their 3-D glasses to see if they could find any clue or letter. They found a letter then something extremely weird happen during the ride, the boat they were on started rising and they almost drown. The next day in their virtual chat room they discuss everything that happen and tried to find a significance to the letters they found, but nothing logical came out. 

That night Finns mother was very very worried about Finn clothes and how was it possible that he wake up with his clothes being so dirty? He felt obligated to tell he the truth but she did not believe him. 

Philby and Finn met at the park once again and decided they will look for the last clues of Stonecutters Quill which was stone, so they head to Thunder Mountain were there was many rocks. They wore their 3-D glasses and were able to find a clue but along the way a HUGE t-rex started chasing them but they were able to scape. Now they had all the letters, it was time to find the meaning. All the letters started to rearrange by themselves and it said “MY FIRST PEN”, which meant Walt Disney's first pen, that was the answer to the fable. They went to Wayne with the hope that this traveling to Disney thing will be over, but it would not, now they needed to find the pen in one of Walt Disneys offices before the Overtakers did, that was the key. 

The hosts elaborated a plan to get that pen. One day in the monorail they all met with Amanda, it was a coincidence she told them that Jez has been following them and Amanda has being following Jez. 

Amanda helped Finn get to Walt Disney office without getting caught by the guards. He got the pen but again he felt that cold and it was pulling him to a door, then the guards came, they caught him. 

When running he saw a girl standing, whoever she was she told the guards were he was, Finn faced her and it was Amanda. He couldn't believe it, she betrayed him, who was Amanda? Amanda had tears in her eyes and told Finn it wasn't like that, but Finn will never be able to forgive her.

“MY FIRST PEN.

“The Stonecutters Quill. Its Walt Disney's fir

st pen,” Philby said. “Oh my gosh!”

“But what does it mean?” Charlene said.”

pg 238

When I thought about The Stonecutters Quill I thought that when they solved the fable it would be something huge. Now I am wondering, why a pen? But then I think about how Walt Disney was a dreamer and a story teller and about the message how the small things can turn out to be the biggest ones. Walt Disney created so many stories and characters that a simple pen could actually turn out to be the key. But how will a simple pen destroy the Overtakers. 

“You?” he said again, desperate for an explanation.

“You cause the cold?”

“You're the one?” he gasped in disbelief hating her for all her lies…Finn couldn't get a word out, his chest tied, his fists clenched. 

“Finn, please. You've got this wrong”…”There is so much to explain. But not here”

“Not anywhere!” he fired up. “Not ever!”

 pg 259

Amanda hides so many things from Finn that he is actually right about not trusting her. But maybe Amanda actually is helping the Overtakers or she is doing something else, maybe she is not the enemy because she wants to explain things. I predict that Amanda is actually helping the hosts and she is not just someone ordinary. I think she may be related to Walt Disney, maybe Walt Disney is his descendant. 

Final Thoughts

The Kingdom Keepers so far is actually a pretty good book, actually an amazing. Unexpected things happen such as the pen and the issue with Amanda. So many questions raise again and I cant wait to see what happens next. So far Finn as a leader has behaved incredibly amazing has analyze and have very thoughtful ideas with the help of Philby and the other hosts. For only being a pair of kids and being able to solve this fable is really shocking and actually quite interesting and amazing. I predict that Finn and Amanda will meet again but Finn would not want even to look at her but she will give him fair explanation of what is going on. Maybe she is on their side and not the Overtakers. I think Finn and Amanda are liking each other and Finn is not only md but hurt because of how much he loves her.
