It was a very fun book about people that are not the same as others. It helps people who are different think better of them selves.

From New York Times bestselling authors Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins comes a new, offbeat series about a group of misfits who set out to prove that life on the other side of ordinary has its charms.
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 . . .

this was very cool. it told a story of being a magician but had how to do magic tricks in it. it was pretty neat actuaally and im working on a few tings now.
This book is really interesting throughout the whole story and will be captivating. It teaches good lessons like that being different isn't bad and that you should always be yourself.
I really loved reading this book because it was co-written by one of my favorite authors, Lauren Myracle. It also involves magic which I love in a book. The main character is Nory Horace and she failed in her first school, which was owned by her dad, so she must go to public school with the other kids who have a weird kind of magic too. It all works out in the end because Nory and her new friends at the public school prove that they are just as talented as anyone with normal magic.
This book is awesome. It is about a girl named Nory. She has magic to turn into any animal. But, things go wrong and Nory is sent to a class where all students in the class has something wonky going on with their magic. Nory’s friend Elliott (male) has some trouble with kids that used to be his friend. Nory then learns how to become normal to go back into a regular class. She didn’t get in so she had to find another way.
I like this book because it has a lot of crazy magic and i love crazy magic. I would recommend this book to people who like magic
Elliot and Nory are just two kids with wonky powers at Dunwiddle Magic School. They attend the magic program that is for students whose magical powers cannot be focused on or contained. But soon, Elliot and Nory are sick of magic school, and want to try to test into "normal" classes. Will they join the "normal" kids, or will they have to stay with Ms. Starr and the crazy kids of UDM? "It’s never easy when your magic goes wonky."
This book shows that being different is not a bad thing but can actually save the day. Being how your self is extremely important about how you are.
I love this book! It shows that being different isn't a bad thing.
I love how this book shows that it is okay to be different. Nory is so sweet and kind.
