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 . . .

Nory‘s not great at controlling her magic. She‘s good at turning into a beaver-kitten though. Or other less-than-well-behaved mixed-up creatures.

So she‘s sent to stay with her aunt to attend a new programme for children with upside-down (wonky) magic. All she wants is to be normal. And to go home.

The message (embrace your uniqueness!) is hammered pretty hard, but this is a cute, fun MG book about acceptance, difference & making friends.

squirrelbrain Oh, a beaver-kitten sounds cute! 🤣 1y

Chrissyreadit @DinoMom @ShelleyBooksie I can match you two- or if you provide some local bookstores, etsyshops, or Amazon, and the person I match you with does the same- that could be possible- and it can be delivered directly within country- that could be possible? What sounds good? I‘m easy going. 3y

This is the first in a set of middle-age books that promise to be super fun. It‘s about children who have magical powers of all sorts but just have a little bit of a problem controlling their powers. When they try to perform their “specialty“ magic everything goes all “wonky“ and things don‘t work out quite as planned. That‘s why it‘s called “upside down magic“. Very clever idea and I think kids are going to love these books.

Texreader That does sound so fun and perfect for that age group! 4y
suvata @Texreader I think my granddaughter is going to love them 4y

Took my boys on a day trip today, and brought this audio with us to see if they‘d even pay attention. We all really enjoyed it! Funny with nice theme of accepting what makes you different. Bonus: Boys asked for audiobooks for every car trip!

This is the best your getting. It‘s too old to go upstairs to my library. Pardon the bad hair, just got out of the shower.

In my living room on top of my hope chest I keep a book stand. These are the books that I think I‘m going to read for the month, and/or books that are new and just haven‘t been taken to work or my personal library yet. The basket contains more books usually upcoming galleys I‘m excited to read. #24in48 #hour12challenge

sprainedbrain This is a great idea! I should find a place for my monthly tbr, instead of just making a list. Maybe I would stick to my plans a little better. 😂 5y

I can‘t buy books from #bookoutlet without buying some for myself. Most of these are sequels or fill ins for my series missing books. But also some new ones. And one of the books I bought duplicates to send my #allhallowsreadswap. Now my problem is too many books and I have to narrow things down.

So at the last #bookoutlet sale I purchased my books for the truck or treaters. I don‘t get many. About 10-15. So they make out like bandits. There‘s not many MG or teen books because I have enough of those to fill from my shelf.

Hooked_on_books I love this! 5y
