As Maniac gets settled into his new home, the Beale household becomes a much calmer and happier place. Maniac helps with the younger siblings by playing with them, reading to them, untying the knots in their shoes, and taking baths with them. In turn, Mr. and Mrs. Beale’s job becomes easier and they aren’t always cleaning and battling with the younger children. In addition, Maniac pleases his new family by helping around the house. At the end of the chapter, it is discovered Maniac has an allergy to pizza, a food he had never tried until now.
