Shell Game is the fifth book in the Kingdom Keepers series. It opens in a library with the three villains "huddled together in the darkened library stacks just beyond the central card index" endearing itself to librarians everywhere. The Kingdom Keepers started out in middle school as "models for Disney World hologram guides" and alternately loved and hated the ensuing celebrity it caused. Now in high school, Finn and four other Kingdom Keepers are "the last line of defense between the darker forces of Walt Disney's impressive imagination - the villains and witches and fairies now called the Overtakers". They must recover a journal stolen from the Disney World library and defeat the Overtakers on the Disney Dream's maiden voyage.
The Keepers are not unlike Pinocchio. They "are proving themselves brave, truthful, and unselfish. [They] also exist in two worlds - Pinocchios's wooden world is like [their] electronic world.
