Curiosity overcomes her, and when his ears fall off, she scoops them up and runs home to figure out the secret of his magic trick. Regalbop tracks her down but is arrested on suspicion of being the burglar who's been breaking into neighborhood homes.Escaping from jail, with Pollybip and his ears close behind, Regalbop remembers his father's final instructions regarding the mirror. Climbing to the attic, the two find themselves taking the only path available to avoid prison-through the forbidden mirror and into the great unknown beyond.

Barbara Ann Gordon was dead and buried, never to be heard from again. The last few months had been a nightmare. With the help of the U.S. Marshals she was on her way to a new home with a new identity.And now as Emily Gail Henshaw, she looked out the window of her new little house in Crab Apple Creek and saw the same guy she had met on the road earlier that day. Oh my God! The Hunk! He had made her feel things she hadn't felt in a long time. He was gorgeous! And he was her builder. It was promising to be an interesting meeting, and a long "hot" summer. The first time Emily saw the meadow where she would build her new home, the air seemed to shimmer. She saw visions of Native Spirits, felt the Magic from the mountain, and knew this was the right place. Her builder, Ethan, seemed to sense something paranormal, too. Might he have The Gift like her? Emily and Ethan's worlds were about to collide in the middle of an eruption of dance between good and evil. It seemed the Universe had plans for both of them that neither would be able to control.

Perhaps it was fate that brought them together. Five seasoned musicians, all of whom at some point in their individual careers had been close to realizing the dream of virtually every young musician - the ever elusive record deal.They had all been in bands that opened for legendary acts like Ray Charles, The Who, The Allman Brothers, The Turtles, and more. But they were older now - "fossils," if you will. They still enjoyed making music together as The Mustangs, but any dreams of stardom had faded away long ago.A 2008 Senate hearing focused on corporate largesse in America just about put The Mustangs out of business. The ensuing cut back in entertainment budgets by most corporations meant a lack of work for the band and an abundance of downtime. That in turn led to an experiment.The idea was to form a multi-generational band that would focus on vocally challenging songs from the 1960s to the present. In 2010, two talented young female singers (foxes) joined up with the experienced voices of The Mustangs (fossils). Together, they produced a beautiful harmonic blend that band founder, Tim Purcell, describes as "ear candy."Some 12 years later, that band - Foxes and Fossils - has taken the internet by storm. In a short time, they've risen from relative obscurity to a number one YouTube sensation. With over 80 million views on their channel (adding about 1.4 million new ones every month), and accolades from artists like Cat Stevens and Graham Nash, Foxes and Fossils have hundreds of thousands of fans in over 40 different countries.Ear Candy: Foxes and Fossils, America's #1 Cover Band by Paul F. Caranci and band member Sammie Purcell will take you on a musical journey with five fossils and three foxes. A journey starting from the humble beginnings of each member and culminating in the formation of Foxes and Fossils; a true American success story.
