{My thoughts} – Nory is an interesting girl. She has the ability to shape shift but something happens when she does. She loses her concentration and she becomes more then just the animal she is trying to turn into. Because of that she gets denied an education at Sage Academy a school where her father is the Headmaster. Her father becomes ashamed of the fact that she failed the entrance test and sends her to live with her Aunt Margo.
Since she is living with her Aunt she will be attending a different school. One that has a magic program for children with similar problems like hers. The program is called Upside Down Magic. She meets other children in the program that are struggling with keeping their magic under control and soon starts to understand more about herself and her own magic.
If you’d like to know what happens you will need to read the book. I found it to be an interesting, fun book to read. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series sometime in the future. I have passed this book onto my daughter, so hopefully she will enjoy reading it as much as I did.

So I started this series after watching the Disney movie on Disney + and the book is completely different. I assume there is more in the later books that they pulled from for the movie but honestly the book basically provided the main characters and a school name but that is where the similarities end. Books are much better than the movie.

Super cute, this would be perfect for students that want to tackle HP but might not be a strong reader.

I haven't been able to finish this book. Every time a kid sees me reading it, they ask if they can check it out; and, being the good librarian I am, I let them. So, I've read a few chapters over lunch, then a couple weeks pass...then another one or two, and a couple weeks pass. Then I took it home for the weekend...and my sons saw it and took it from me. They both read it in a day (they are eight) and so got it back Sunday night. I read a few more chapters that night but a student was it when I returned to school...and that's as far as I have gotten.
I have really enjoyed what I have read so far...buy I may never get a chance to finish it, so I thought I'd write a review...just in case.

While I'm not normally one to read a book and then praise the agenda, this book is all about a specific political and social agenda. Namely, inclusion. It's beautiful. My niece and nephew will both be reading these with me to learn that differences are not bad and that unusual is not wrong.
