Magical Map #2: Jungle Cruise

Ages 6 to 8, Grades 1 to 3

New York Times bestselling author of the Kingdom Keepers series is back with an all-new Disney-inspired chapter book adventure!

Gemma and her brother, Torin, have a big secret. They found a hand-drawn map of Walt Disney World that can magically transport them onto any ride!

After their mother takes a job in Orlando at the parks, strange things keep happening to the attractions’ animatronics. When the animals on the Jungle Cruise ride keep being pushed over in the middle of the night, it’s up to the siblings to use their magical map and figure out the real reason why the ride keeps closing down for “repairs.”

But using the map means they will need to face real live spiders, snakes, and countless other jungle animals, not to mention the pesky cameras set up by their mom’s team. Will Gemma and Torin figure out a way to save the ride, or will they fall prey to the dangers that lurk in the jungle?
