Upside Down Magic

The second book in a series about young magic makers whose magic sometimes goes wrong or "wonky." The main characters are enrolled at a special school that hopes to help them learn to control their unpredictable magic and even better to understand their "upside down magic." The book will appeal to those children who like fantasy and magic themes. It will have special appeal to reluctant readers and those readers just beginning to read chapter books. The book explores the themes of friendship, appreciating one's own abilities, and embracing and understanding the differences of others in a fun and lighthearted way.

Overall Book Score: good
