About this episode

Mocker, a Goop boy with a unique habit of mimicking voices, finds himself in the Gobi Desert after an incident with a stone wall.

Mocker is a Goop boy with a habit he simply cannot switch off -- whatever voice goes into his ears comes straight back out again, pitch perfect, not one tiny bit wrong. It's funny, mostly. Until he mimics his best friend Spirit's strange and beautiful sound at the old stone wall at the edge of Goop World, and the wall swallows him whole. He lands in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, tiny and alone at the base of the Flaming Cliffs -- ancient orange rock filled with oval shapes sealed inside the stone for eighty million years. With only a wild Bactrian camel for company and something moving beneath the sand that no one wants to get too close to, Mocker quickly discovers that copying the wrong voice at the wrong moment can land you somewhere very difficult to get down from. Will Mocker find a way to use his most embarrassing habit to silence the thing beneath the sand? And where in the world has Spirit disappeared to while he was gone?
