Plot

Maxie, the teenage daughter of a single mother, is not happy to leave the countryside for the big city, but she and her mother move there to form a new family with Amir and his two sons, Sami and Derek. In the world of fairies, Violetta misses her tooth-fairying exam one more time and she is denied the possibility of going to the world of humans. Despite all interdictions, she manages to go there with her firefly companion Gwen, and the fairy finds herself in Maxi's new room, thinking it is Sami's (who happens to have just lost a tooth). She spends the night there as she can't go back to the world of fairies. Her presence is soon discovered by Maxie. The latter helps the fairy find another way to go home. Meanwhile, Yolando and the Professor, two fairies, try to access the world of human "the old way", through an old tree whose body leads to the world of humans. Yolando is called to the world of humans anyway, as Sami has lost another tooth. There he gives Violetta the key to the portal in the tree. That tree happens to be in a warehouse a promoter wants to use to build a hotel. And although he cuts it in two, Violetta has the power to cure it and opens the gate. The Professor tells her that she will never be a tooth fairy, only to let her know she is in fact a powerful flower fairy who can cure plants and nature. Maxie and Violetta part promising to meet every full moon by the tree.
