Bookroo's 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.

From the publisher

Meet the Upside-Down Magic kids in the first topsy-turvy adventure of this New York Times bestselling series, now a Disney Channel Original Movie!It’s never easy when your magic goes wonky.

For Bax, a bad moment of magic will turn him into a . . . actually, he’d rather not talk about that.

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 . . .
