If you liked the Dan Brown DaVinci Code, and the movie National Treasure, you will absolutely love HIDDEN MICKEY! Two best friends were in Disneyland running the spirited Mouse Adventure road rally through the Disney Park. During their quest they stumble on a long-lost diary Walt Disney left behind. It hints of hidden treasure that leads them on a wild cross-country search filled with discoveries about the famous man, his life, and about themselves. A former girlfriend was fired from her beloved job at Disneyland thanks to one of our characters. Now he needs her help in untangling a web of clues that Walt left behind. Can she put their past aside and work with him again? Can the three friends decipher the eccentric clues that Disney himself may have ingeniously devised? Is someone else sniffing the same trail of clues and seeking the Disney cache for themselves? As the clues lead them closer to their goal - and deeper in the legacy of Walt Disney himself - will they find some long-lost treasure? Or is this one final illusion by the Worlds Greatest Storyteller? Anyone who loves all-things Disney will be swept up in the intrigue of the sometimes subtle, sometimes obscure, and always amazing facts surrounding one of the most recognized, beloved and ingenious men of all time. Walk in the shoes of our intrepid treasure hunters as they scavenge historical records and discover amazing connections, while they seek out what Walt may have left behind. Each page indulges the reader's imagination and immerses them into the world of magic Walt Disney created everywhere he went. HIDDEN MICKEY takes readers on a wild ride; consider it Mr. Toads Wild Ride on steroids. Sometimes Dead Men DO Tell Tales

5.0 out of 5 stars I could not put this book down!, October 26, 2009

By	M. Amodt ""home school mom"" (St George, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved this book! It was well-written, with lots of descriptions. My heart was pounding through-out the book, wondering if the treasure-hunters were going to get caught. The places that they traveled to were so descriptive, it felt as though I were there with them, myself! The characters' personalities were exactly as I had thought they would be through-out the book.

My heart was pounding as I read the last chapter. The surprise ending made me jump!

Nice job! My best friend is already reading it now. She also loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for a sequel, December 16, 2009

By	M. Zinkowsky - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an avid Disney lover, my initial reaction to this book was "wonderful". It was very well written and the dialogue did not seem forced or fake at any point. The characters were fleshed out nicely and I think it would do well in a sequel.

This book has a lot of action and thrills with a little supsense thrown in for good measure. I'm sure Walt himself would have been proud of the effort put into this book not to mention the sheer fun in reading it.

My teenager can't wait to read it next, and keeps asking how it ends, which I refuse to divulge.

Congrats and nice job to the authors.

By	A. Trujillo "Amy T." (St. George, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"I really enjoyed "Hidden Mickey" - I am a sucker for a good mystery/adventure story and this was definitely one that kept me intrigued! It is a very exciting idea that Walt Disney may have left a treasure for his devotees to find - as the mystery unfolds, you want to be there to see what is uncovered! I look forward to the movie..."
