A heartwarming family fantasy about friendship and self-acceptance, where an unconventional young hero discovers her worth in a magical school setting.

Nory and her best friend Reina enter the Sage Academy for Magical Studies, where Nory’s unconventional powers land her in a class for those with wonky, or “upside-down,” magic. Undaunted, Nory sets out to prove that that upside-down magic can be just as powerful as right-side-up.
