Description
The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next instalment of this New York Times bestselling series!
It's Big Night in Dunwiddle... and that means the whole school has a sleepover like no other. For one night every year, magic students run through the halls, hunting for the objects that will win them a super special prize.
Nory is super excited for the scavenger hunt. Not only because she likes winning, but also because if her team wins, she thinks there's a chance her best friend Elliott won't move away to attend super snobby Sage Academy.
Sebastian is a little less excited once the hunt is on. Yes, he has magical powers that help his team—like being able to see invisible things or anything that makes a sound. The problem is that the really loud sounds are hurting him... and nobody seems to care.
The kids in Upside-Down Magic know their five F's (Flares, Flyers, Fuzzies, Flickers, and Fluxers)—but to win this night, a sixth F is the most important... Friendship.
