But mysteries pile up when Detective Tamura reveals that a young woman who was struck by a car in the woods said Nancy’s name just before she passed out. That young woman is Amanda Bobbsey and yes, she has a twin brother named Gil who’s now missing… along with the magic mirror that the twins believe the “Drew Crew” can use to subdue the Aglaeca.
