Summary: Nory and her friends at Dunwiddle Magic School face a unique challenge: their magic is unpredictable. Nory turns into a 'dritten,' a mix of dragon and kitten, while Elliott's fire magic freezes. Andres floats uncontrollably, and Bax has his own secret mishaps. In the Upside-Down Magic class, lessons are anything but ordinary, and the students must navigate the chaos their wonky powers create. Can they learn to embrace their unusual abilities, or will their magic continue to spiral out of control? Discover the unexpected adventures that await in this topsy-turvy world of magical misfits.
