WOLF CROSSES PATHS WITH MERLIN AS HE ATTEMPTS TO RETURN THE RED DIAMOND TO IT'S RIGHTFUL OWNER

Wolf, the mysterious Disneyland security guard and Guardian of Walt Disney, now armed with a 21st century helper and a beautiful damsel lost in the stream of time, finds himself traveling back and forth through history as he attempts to get the enchanted princess, Briar Rose, back home to her own castle and time.

AN EVIL FORCE PUTS EVERYTHING INTO GAINING CONTROL OVER THAT GEM

Once loved by the powerful Merlin, his apprentice Nimue shows her true colors by betraying him—and all who come close to her—as she attempts to regain control of the powerful pendant. Her name might change through the eons, but her heart of evil stays the same.

WOLF STRUGGLES TO RESIST THE POWERFUL FORCES OF DARKNESS

Trying to keep his home base of Disneyland as his touchstone, Wolf struggles against the powers of darkness. When it finally overtakes him, his friend Wals must figure out a way to break through the fabric of time to bring back help. Returning to the Guardian's distant past, Wals must convince Wolf's warrior brother Mato to trust him and step into the swirling vortex that destroyed his brother's life.

CAN THEY UNITE TO SAVE WALT & DISNEYLAND?

Join the heroes—past and present—as they unite for one last stand against the forces of evil in a showdown that will rock the very foundations on which Disneyland was built.

"Wow!! This was one smooth read! The plot was superb with its climatic conflict of good verses evil, yet the characters really pulled it along. We hope this isn’t the beginning of the end of the series because this cast of characters, Wolf, Mato, Lance, Kimberly, and Wals has become like real people—friends that you look forward to meeting and catching up on the latest turn of adventure. You feel their struggle of staying true to their inner nature and desires, while rejoicing in their conquests. Of course, some of the characters that you are introduced to like the evil one—Nimue, you just love to despise and relish at her downfall! This is truly the most polished and outstanding of all the Hidden Mickey series!! It will leave you pleading for just one more! "

Will she or won't she?
The exciting ending of this story leaves it wide open - will there be another book in the series? This is perhaps the most gripping and fast paced story of the series. It will bring you back to your childhood with the memories of your favorite fairy tales mixed into the modern world. If you liked Nancy's other Hidden Mickey books, you will love this one!
I now know Nancy is continuing the saga with a new series, starting with "Hidden Mickey Adventures 1: Peter and the Wolf", which I already read and highly recommend!!!

This book continues from where Hidden Mickey #3 leaves off. The mysterious Rose is trying to get returned to her own time and place with the help of Wolf and Wals. Something is not quite right when they discover that someone who was thought to be dead is actually alive and still looking for the Hidden Mickey Diamond.

This was an amazing read and I highly recommend it to any Disney Historian or lover of anything Disney. The author's creative use of fantasy and history of Disney and Disneyland makes this book awesome!

Hidden Mickey 4 Wolf is a great addition and ending to this series. I sincerely hope it won't be the last, as though ending was a great close, there could still be more great magical adventures for the Hidden Mickey quest. This book was great from the beginning of magic with Merlin all the way through the Disneyland we all love. The Disneyland history woven throughout the novel is fabulous for every Disney fan out there! A great addition to any Disney collection of books!

[Alyssa (The Shady Glade) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I didn't think I'd like the fantasy aspect introduced in the last book, but by this one it grew on me. I still feel a little bounced around by the jumping back and forth in time between anecdotes of Walt and what's going on with Wolf/Wals. I did think Wals' part in the story ended rather abruptly, so hopefully we'll hear more from him.

Can't wait to see more books in this series!

[Avidreader Tiff · Rating 3 out of 5]

So this was probably the best of them all. Followed closely my #3 I enjoyed the fantasy stuff this time!

Fantastic book! I loved how it took off right where the last book ended. Rose, Wolf & all of the great characters introduced in the Hidden Mickey series of books are here, and they are with Walt Disney. If you love Disney themes, you'll love this book! Looking forward to the new Hidden Mickey Adventures series, with Peter and the Wolf...

[Anne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I agree with fittytiff in that this was the best book in the the series, it was true Disney Fantasy style! I am so looking forward to Nancy's new series Hidden Mickey Adventures, I have it pre-ordered.

[Taylor Summerlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. What a great way to end the series. Enjoyed every minute reading this!

[Shawn Deal · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great conclusion to the Wolf duology. I would have never believed this series to be as good as it was if I had not read it. This series I think can truly be enjoyed by most action, mystery and fantasy readers. If you have an interest in Disneyland, than that's just an extra. I loved this series and am sorry that there are no new novels coming out.

[David Blaylock · Rating 2 out of 5]

This series turned into something I was not interested in, but had to finish. I didn't need magic and time travel to keep me reading.
