La première fois que j'ai rencontré Emma et Jodine, je les ai trouvées absolument parfaites. Après un long et épuisant défilé de filles toutes plus folles les unes que les autres, j'avais enfin trouvé les colocataires idéales ! Certes Emma me faisait un peu peur avec son look sexy et son assurance à toute épreuve, mais j'étais persuadée qu'un peu de fantaisie ne me ferait pas de mal. Sans compter qu'elle devait traîner dans son sillage une horde de séduisants jeunes gens dont nous pourrions profiter. Quant à Jodine, elle était tout simplement la parfaite-petite-colocataire : sérieuse, discrète organisée. Le casting idéal, je vous dis ! Sauf que je n'avais pas du tout prévu qu'Emma me piquerait l'homme de mes rêves, que Jodine se révélerait une incroyable sainte-nitouche, ni que l'appartement prendrait feu... Et ça encore, ce n'est que le début de l'aventure !

The second book in a hilarious and heartfelt series about a group of magical misfits! Nory Horace is nine years old. Unfortunately, Nory's shape-shifting ability is a bit...wonky. And so she's forced to enter the magic equivalent of the remedial classes. But Nory is going to prove that upside-down magic definitely beats right-side up!

In a whimsical twist on the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood, Abby and her brother find themselves on an unexpected adventure after using a magic mirror. Instead of reaching their friend's house, they must rescue Lali, the modern version of Red, and her unkind grandmother. Along the way, they discover that the wolf may not be the villain he seems, and they uncover a shocking secret about their own Nana, adding depth to their journey and challenging the traditional narrative.

The story revolves around a sleepover at Dunwiddle Magic School, where fifth graders engage in a scavenger hunt. Nory is determined to win the hunt to persuade her friend Elliott, who is attending a concert at a rival school, to remain at Dunwiddle instead of transferring to Sage Academy. With the help of her fellow upside-down magic friends, Nory must rally their cooperation and focus to achieve victory in the competition and keep her friendship intact.

Dory and her friends from Ms. Starr's Upside-Down Magic class set off on an overnight school field trip to Dragon Haven to learn how to care for dragons, but they meet other students with regular magic there and it is not long before the trouble starts.

The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next installment of this New York Times bestselling series, now a Disney Channel Original Movie! When Nory's magic first appeared, her father wanted her to go to fancy, selective Sage Academy, where he is the headmaster. But Nory's magic went upside-down at the worst possible moment . . . and she was sent to Dunwiddle Middle School instead! The good news? Nory loves Dunwiddle, and her best friends have upside-down magic, too! The bad news? When a flood wrecks Dun-widdle, Nory and her UDM friends are forced to relocate . . . to Sage Academy! Sure, there's a magical skunk garden, a school-wide Hide and Seek night, and expensive gloves that help Nory's friend Elliott with his flaring, but Nory's father and the rest of the teachers are super strict, and Nory doesn't feel like she fits in . . . at all. When she's offered the chance to stay at Sage for good, she has to decide where she belongs . . . and if Sage Academy can learn that magic comes in all shapes and sizes.

As soon as we land, I can tell we're not in Smithville anymore -- we've been transported into The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! We're excited to meet Dorothy and Toto... but the story isn't going as planned. The Wicked Witch of the East locks us in her dungeon, so we have no way of getting the magic slippers that will take Dorothy home.

Now we have to: - Befriend the Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow - Flee the flying monkeys - Learn to steer a hot-air balloon - Find the courage, heart, and smarts to save the day ...or we'll never escape -- and everyone knows there's no place like home!

Offering the unusual perspective on the softness and sweetness to be discovered in the Zen path., which has long been associated with formality and even harshness, this book includes the traditional rigor of Zen practice, but is balanced and eased with ever-growing compassion for the self and for the suffering caused by the delusion that we are separate from all that is.
