Whether it's a magic trick gone wrong or the doings of a mysterious Mr. X, the rabbits have got to go.
All Max, a fourth grader, wants to do is be a magician. He even goes to school dressed in a black cape and a top hat. With wand in hand, he performs tricks for classmates before school, after school, and during lunch.
However, something goes terribly wrong with his latest magic trick. Instead of pulling a fake rabbit from out of his hat, a live rabbit turns up.
How did the rabbit get into the school lunch room?
Max thinks it’s his new magic words that do the trick, but the school principal thinks Max is up to no good.
With his two best friends, who also enjoy performing magic tricks, Jessica and Quincy help Max solve the mystery of the rabbit invasion.
