وصف الناشر
In a world of elite magic academies, weird and wonderful things happen when you're sent off to public school . . . and put in the Upside-Down Magic class.It's never easy when your magic goes wonky.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 . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The writers behind How to Be Bad (2008) aim for a younger audience in this entertaining story about magical powers gone humorously awry. Ten-year-old Nory is mortified when she bungles her interview at the posh magical academy where her father is headmaster; attempting to morph into a kitten, she instead turns into a sequence of outrageous hybrid animals, including a "dritten" (dragon-kitten). She is shipped off to live with her wonderfully kooky Aunt Margo (who works as a flying taxi, zipping passengers around on her back) and enrolls in an "Upside-Down Magic" program. Nory's fear that her classmates will be "the worst of the wonky" is delightfully realized. Magical shenanigans abound as the story celebrates individuality, self-acceptance, and tolerance, encapsulated in Aunt Margo's advice: "Just be who you are, not who you think you should be." Featuring short chapters and lively, funny dialogue, this novel should please kids who don't naturally find reading to be magical, as well as those who do. Ages 8 12.

Awesome book!
This is like, the best book I’ve read. I definitely recommend this book. I think it was well written, and I like that it is a fantasy book. I was introduced to Upside Down Magic by school. When i read it I could not stop reading. I read in the morning, I read it at night. Honestly, 10/10!
Worst book ever
I hate your books you are the worst book writer
Amazing book!
My friend told me about this book and I’m so glad she did. It was impossible to put down and I stayed up till past ten reading it then woke up at six to read more. The story was really interesting and very well written. I just wish it was longer cause it felt a little packed in. I can’t wait to read the next books! I really recommend this book to everyone reading!
