Sophie and Scottie have just returned to their 10,000 acre sheep shearing ranch, called Shear Heaven, from their amazing adventure on Amelia Island. But a storm was coming and the non-identical twin sisters would need to use their clever skills to help Ma and Pa during and after the storm. The ranch did get some storm damage, but as the summer sun was drying out the land, who was the boy helping ranch-hand Jack? Whoever he was, the girls knew this kid must never find out about the magical frame and its ability to act as a portal to distant lands and amazing adventures. Sophie and Scottie were ready for their next adventure. Luckily, Auntie Jill's instructions were simple to follow as the girls were about to walk through the frame. But, oh know, their dog Molly ran through the frame before they could go through to a land consisting of snow covered mountains and pine trees! All three find themselves on a boat with their Uncle Drake heading towards a mountain with an enormous rock shaped like a front tooth that was balancing ever so carefully on the mountaintop! Once at their destination called the Colossal Candy Castle, Sophie and Scottie learn that Samuel McSweet lives at the castle and is a renowned candy maker. But why does he need the sisters for help? Join the girls as they learn how to avoid the largest grizzly bear they'd ever seen and why a bald eagle is constantly watching them. The curious sisters rely on their bravery and wit along with their trusty map to help solve Samual's sugary mystery of Sweet Tooth Rock!
