Authors:Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, Emily Jenkins Genre: Fantasy Recomeded grade level: 4+ Description:10 year old Nory(living with her aunt) and her friends in the Upside Down Magic class at Dunwiddle Academy go through many magical adventures and accidents. Nory is an upside down fluxer, due to the fact that she changes into things like a dritten(a dragon kitten) or a squippy(a squid puppy). Nory with the help of her best friend Eliot( a freezing flare), try to use their magic for the greater good of Dunwiddle. But that's not easy, for the sparkies and Lacy Clench(the school bullys) are watching their every move. Critique: I have read two books of the upside down magic series. These books are very good ways to show perserverence and trust in friendships. it also shows how being different is not a bad thing, it's just you being you.
