Miksi ihmeessä kotiportaiden edessä seisoo pakettiauto, jonka kyljessä lukee Muutto-Matti ja pojat? Sanni kokee elämänsä yllätyksen juuri ennen koulunalkua. On haikeaa hyvästellä tuttu ympäristö. Onneksi kiltti kerhotäti ymmärtää Sannin muuttosuruja.
Marjolahti ei loppujen lopuksi olekaan hassumpi paikka. Tutuiksi tulevat pian naapurin veljekset, jotka kulkevat aidanraosta leikkimässä Sannin puutarhassa. Tiukka opettaja osoittautuu reiluksi, ja Sanni selviää jopa koulun laatikkoruokapäivistä. Vanha harmoni keikkuu, ja Sanni ja opettaja löytävät yhteisen sävelen.
