Blurb[]

Max and Noah discover a secret room in the attic with a mysterious mirror -a mirror with the power to make them invisible! When Max, Noah and their friends start experimenting with the mirror's power, they begin disappearing for longer and longer periods of time and find it's not so easy to come back. The spooky mirror is definitely not what it appears—or disappears—to be. . . .

Differences from the Book[]

  • April, Whitey the dog, and the neighbors the Evanders do not appear in the episode. Because of Whitey's absence, the secret room is discovered by the kids on accident instead of Whitey.
  • The opening does not happen during a birthday party.
  • Noah is never called Lefty.
  • Erin never becomes invisible, therefore, not switching with her reflection. This is because she is more cautious.
  • Zack didn't have a weird hairstyle in the episode, just one earring on his left ear.
  • In the book. Max notices Left is throwing right-handed while they're playing baseball. In the episode, he throws a cup.
  • In the episode, the mirror is shown to have somehow put itself back together not long after it was destroyed.
  • The scene where Lefty annoys Max during dinner does not involve the grandparents in the episode.
  • Erin is responsible for destroying the mirror in the episode, while in the book it was Lefty destroying it with his baseball.
