Sophie and Scottie are fraternal twin sisters that live on a sheep shearing ranch. They receive a magical gift that becomes a portal to amazing adventures. Once through the portal (a crystal covered picture frame activated by a photo given by their auntie who is also the gift giver) the 11 ½ year-old sisters are tasked to help find the missing monarch butterflies that migrate to Mexico. The girls must empower themselves to navigate in the land that can be very unpredictable and treacherous. Sophie and Scottie meet Dr. Drake, who is a family friend and can be trusted within the portal. They also interact with their guide, a mischievous map, a talking toucan, Jinx the cat-like creature, and color changing monkeys while dodging an evil professor on their quest. Each girl develops a special talent on their journey that may or may not help them. Sophie believes she may have found the Monarchs, but at what cost to them all? Join Sophie and Scottie as they use their wit and curiosity on this journey that is full of action, adventure, a touch of science and a bit of magic to solve this epic mystery!
