Dany creates a magical duplicate of herself to help with homework and making friends, but it gets complicated when they accidentally let loose a Hinn (sort of like a genie, only it doesn' t grant wishes!). And with the big school dance coming up, time is running out to set things right in the town. But when Dany' s high school bully, Nick Maloney, befriends the Hinn and shows up at the dance using its magical powers to control the evening, the only thing left to do is save the day! Sigh . . . Again.
