Chapter 11 Summary: “Mirror Mints”

Summer and Pigeon sneak into the candy shop and manage to glue a mirror to the underside of a table. Later that night, Trevor and Nate set up a mirror outside the shop. They use Mirror Mints to travel to the mirror under the table and slip inside the store. The second floor of the building contains living quarters where they find one of Mrs. White’s oafish assistants asleep on a couch. They move into the study, where they succeed in finding the teleidoscope. On their way out, they get attacked by the assistant. He shoots gobs of orange goo out of his mouth to entrap the boys. Using magic candy, they fight him off before Trevor gets caught and Mrs. White arrives.

Chapter 12 Summary: “Costly Clues”

Nate runs downstairs with the teleidoscope until he is attacked by Mrs. White’s other assistant, a very strong, agile dwarf. When the dwarf hurls a chair at Nate, it smashes the front window, allowing Nate to escape. He flees immediately to Stott’s home. The old magician says Trevor won’t be harmed because Mrs. White needs him as a bargaining chip.
