I agree about the writing style and the mistakes. I thought I was the only one! However, the books are fun and I will never look at IASW in the same way again--lol!! I've read all 4 and am a grandmother.
The books are not that good. The writer has a weak style...
I wanted to like the books so much more than I did. I am a big reader, especially of YA lit and I thought this series was TERRIBLE. The writing is very weak and the book is littered with huge holes and errors. I just don't get the love for this series, it was very disappointing.

I agree that the writing is horrible.
Yeah, there are mistakes, but it sure didn't keep me from reading all 4 of them.
They're fun to read, it is a fictional book, but the fact that it is set inside the parks and involves some of the popular Disney Villains, characters and rides makes it something worth reading. It always helps me out when I feel like I need a little Disney.
Thanks for all the replies. My DS 10 is pretty mature and I think he should be okay with the scary stuff but I will warn him (of course, this may give him MORE reason to want to read them, lol!). If he reads this series and enjoys it, I will recommend the other series (Neverland/Starcatcher).
I feel the same about someone who makes the overt claim (spells it out in the promotion of the books) to have spent much time in the parks, gone behind-the-scenes with free-reign, and had the
help of many experienced CM's during the writing.
If it doesn't bother anyone else, that's cool.
I just found it so disappointing that Pearson appeared not to care.
I've read all but the last book. I enjoyed them. They were pretty entertaining to me. I'm going to start on the Hidden Mickey series that takes placevin Disneyland next.

Nancy Temple RodrigueI read the first one to see if it would be appropriate for my niece who is in first grade. I thought the story was ok, I mean it won't be winning any awards I'm sure, but it was good for what it was if you take it for what it is. I have given it to my niece and she is enjoying it.
I understand the suspension of disbelief but when one of your main selling points is that the setting of the story is WDW, some of the glaring errors should have been corrected. Though I doubt my niece will pick up on them.
Do you know who the author of that series is?
If I want serious, I can go back to my usual reading material.
