May's roundup of New in Paperback titles includes THE KINGDOM KEEPERS by Ridley Pearson, in which five young teens are pitted against Disney villains and witches that threaten both the future of Walt Disney World and the stability of the world outside its walls; THE ADVENTURES OF VIN FIZ, Clive Cussler's first novel written just for kids that revolves around an enchanted box capable of transforming any toy into a life-sized reality; SAMMY KEYES AND THE DEAD GIVEAWAY, a funny, creepy and dastardly addition to Wendelin Van Draanen's series about a spunky girl detective; and SIDEWALK CIRCUS presented by Paul Fleischman and Kevin Hawkes, a spectacular, almost wordless picture book that will spark the imaginations of all who read it.
