Upside Down Magic

Upside-Down Magic by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins
 
In a world where everyone has a magical gift, nine-year-old Nory’s shape-shifting abilities are a little bit wonky—instead of a normal animal, she might turn into a "dritten" (a dragon-kitten)! After failing to get into a prestigious academy, she joins a class of fellow misfits with "upside-down" magic who are determined to show the world that being different is actually a superpower. This hilarious and heartfelt chapter book is a wonderful celebration of resilience and self-acceptance, now a hit Disney+ original movie.
