Upside-Down Magic
This is a favorite of both my daughters. Again set at a magical boarding school where the students are separated by their type of magical gift--plus one group of misfits who can't quite control their gifts--this series has a much lighter touch than Harry Potter. They love discussing the magical creatures in these books and the books aren’t as scary for my youngest child who is more sensitive to darker stories. They also love the Upside-Down Magic Disney movie.

Nory, Elliott, Andres, and Bax are just four of the students in Dunwiddle Magic School’s Upside-Down Magic class.

Because it’s always amazing, the trouble a little wonky magic can cause . . .
