Book excerpt: A fox and bear take on bumbling witch kidnappers and the NYPD's Chief Magic Detector to protect a magical baby, and the witches of New York.In an alternate New York City, Olaf, a bear living in Central Park, accidentally scares away two witches. Mabel and Harvey leave behind a baby, whom they'd kidnapped to force the father - the NYPD's Chief Magic Detector - to stop harassing the magical community. Olaf's mother died when he was just a cub, so his natural instinct is to protect the child. When he and his best friend, Essex, a fox, find the presumed parents and attempt to return the baby, they witness Mabel, in a fit of pique, turn Harvey into a frog. Terrified, they flee.Mabel realizes the baby is an amplifier - never before had she been powerful enough to turn her husband into an amphibian! All her lofty goals of helping her fellow magic-competents fly out the window, and she's consumed with lust for power.Now Olaf and Essex must keep the baby safe, find the real mother, keep the magical baby away from her Magic Detector father, AND avoid getting turned into frogs.
