For Nory, this means that instead of being able to turn into a dragon or a kitten, she turns into both of them at the same time -- a dritten.
For Elliott, the simple act of conjuring fire from his fingertips turns into a fully frozen failure.
For Andres, wonky magic means he's always floating in the air, bouncing off the walls, or sitting on the ceiling.
For Bax, a bad moment of magic will turn him into a . . . actually, he'd rather not talk about that.
Nory, Elliott, Andres, and Bax are just four of the students in Dunwiddle Magic School's Upside-Down Magic class. In their classroom, lessons are unconventional, students are unpredictable, and magic has a tendency to turn wonky at the worst possible moments. Because it's always amazing, the trouble a little wonky magic can cause . . .

Full of embarrassment, Nory will do anything to be able use her fluxer magic to turn into a nice, normal kitten. Instead, all she makes are mixed animal hybrids that eat the furniture. In a class with other misfits, Nory tries to fit in, only to find the rest of the school dislikes her class. her teacher Miss Starr tries to teach them to think out of the box, work together, and use their unique magic, but all Nory wants is to be normal.
My Thoughts-
This is a delightful fantasy book. I love worlds of magic, and this world is very interesting. There are several layers hinted at; Miss Starr tells of a time when unique magic was valued and there were more than just 5 magical groups. Hmm. I want to see things progress and develop in the rest of the series.
Nory is a typical kid who looks up to her brother and sister and wants the approval of her father. I was so saddened by her father's reaction to her. He sends her away and then never contacts her again (at least in book #1). Nory is left on her own, with an Aunt she's rarely seen. However, her character is stalwart. She takes the time to train, to master her magic, and just when she thinks she'll be allowed into normal classes, she realizes being different isn't so bad. A great theme here.
This book had me laughing out loud at several different points. The bizarre things that the kids in the Upside-Down Magic class experience is often funny and the weird hybrids Nory changes into are great! I really liked this book and I'm giving it 5 stars!
She told me she learned about being self aware from this book. As the character uses her emotions to do magic. But for that she first needs to know her feelings. That's something I advise my daughter yo go everyday " check her feelings and thoughts "
