In a rash moment which she thinks is just a joke, Dani says she wishes Max would disappear. Amazingly, he does - and Dani is full of remorse as she tries to get him to come home. Little does she know that he is hidden in the attic with Ben's help, determined to make Dani miss him for real.

When the local library closes down, Dani reluctantly agrees to set up the library in her house. With Sam and Jack's help, she turns it into a hip and happening reading place, but just as the mayor comes to inspect how well she's doing, the entire place starts to fall apart.

Max contrives to lock Dani, Sam and Jack in Dani's bedroom so they can sort out their differences, but it's all just a plot so he can take over the house and turn it into his very own theme park. When some local bullies arrive and start throwing their weight around, Max is forced to enlist the help of Dani and her friends to get rid of them.
