Chapter 1 Dani Binns opened the lid of the toy box in the spare bedroom.

“See you later!” she told her big sister Tara, excitedly.

Every time she chose a toy from the box, it sent her off on an adventure and gave her a job to try out.

She felt around inside the box.

Her hand closed around something squishy.

Modelling clay!

Maybe I’ll be a sculptor? she thought.

Her hand and arm began to tingle. Then her whole body felt like it was spinning away, through space and time …

Chapter 2 When the spinning stopped, Dani found herself in the kitchen of a dog rescue centre. She was standing in a huge puddle of water. Water was gushing from a pipe under the sink.

“The pipe has burst!” said a boy, trying to stop the leak. “I’m Tai. Asha and I are plumbers.”

“Would you pass this spanner to Tai, please?”

Asha asked Dani. “We’re trying to turn off the water supply but the valve is stuck.”

“Quickly!” called Tai, soaked by the spurting jet of water.

“It … won’t … turn!” said Tai, gritting his teeth.

“We’ll have to freeze it.”

Asha handed Tai a mini insulating jacket.

He fitted it around the pipe, next to the leak.

He grabbed a spray can with a thin tube in its nozzle. He inserted the tube into the jacket and pressed the nozzle. The pipe became icy cold.
