Lauren Myracle brings her signature frank, funny, and insightful writing to this novel of a teenage boy’s coming-of-age. Paul Walden is not an alpha lobster, the hypermasculine crustacean king who intimidates the other male lobsters, beds all the lady lobsters, and “wins” at life. At least not according to the ego-bursting feedback he’s given in his freshman seminar. But Paul finds a funny, faithful friend in Roby Smalls, and maybe — oh god, please — he’s beginning to catch the interest of smart, beautiful Natalia Gutierrez. Cruising through high school as a sauced-out, rap-loving beta lobster suits Paul fine, and if life ever gets him down? Smoke a little weed, crunch a few pills . . . it’s all good. But in the treacherous currents of teenage culture, it’s easy to get pulled under. With perfect frankness, Lauren Myracle lays bare the life of one boy as he navigates friendship, love, loss, and addiction. It’s life at its most ordinary and most unforgettable.

It''s time for the Upside-Down Magic class to go on a field trip--a sleepover field trip! But things go wonky from the start, and soon there''s a dragon to deal with.

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! Nory Horace can turn herself into a kitten. But sometimes she adds in a bit of dragon and, well, accidentally turns into a dritten. Oops? Her friend Andres Padillo can fly high . . . but then he can''t fly back down again. Nory and Andres are in an Upside-Down Magic class with other kids who have unusual magic. Now they''re off on their first-ever overnight field trip! At Dragon Haven, Nory, Andres, and their UDM classmates get to swim with dragons, fly with dragons, and feed dragons. There''s even a Hatchery, where they might get to see a newborn dragon. There''s only one downer. The UDM kids aren''t the only ones visiting Dragon Haven. There are other students there, too. Students from another school. Students with "normal" magic. Dragon rescue, bonfires, and pajama breakfasts won''t be nearly as fun with a bunch of snooty strangers. Unless . . . maybe everything isn''t as bad as it first seems. Thrown together with kids who are probably enemies, but might be friends, the UDM kids dive into their topsy-turviest adventure yet.

The Dunwiddle Magic School (fifth to eighth grade) is intended for children whose magic is "upside-down" like Dory (who turns into a combination of a kitten and dragon) and Pepper (whose uncontrollable "fiercing" terrifies everyone around her)--so the Show Off, where fifth grade students are supposed to showcase their skills, does not really seem like a good idea.

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! Some people in school are afraid of the kids in the Upside-Down Magic class. Others just call them flops. But Nory and her friends in Upside-down Magic won''t let that stop them. Not with a school-wide talent show coming up! Except... Nory''s afraid her fluxing magic will go wonky and upset her father. Pepper is worried that her abilities as a Fierce will make all the animals in the show run wild. Bax has some extreme new magic skills, but they can also be extremely embarrassing. And Elliott suspects there''s a Sparkie spy who''s looking to uncover UDM''s talent-show secrets-and to use those secrets against them. In order to take the stage and make some magic, the Upside-Down Magic kids are going to have to band together... and find the right combination of talents to steal the show!

"Nory est une jeune magicienne de neuf ans. Elle se prépare à passer le Grand Test qui lui ouvrira les portes de l''académie Sage que son père dirige. Malheureusement, son talent pour se transformer en animal est instable et elle va échouer à son test. Elle devra alors se contenter de l''école publique de magie de Perlincourt. Nory devient rapidement amie avec Elliott, un garçon bavard et trop curieux. Puis, elle devra s''adapter à un enseignement qui ne respecte pas la même pédagogie que ce qu''elle a connu par le passé. Il lui faudra réussir à s''intégrer dans cet environnement."--SDM.

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! Strange things are happening at Dunwiddle Magic School -- and the Upside-Down Magic class is getting blamed! Yes, Marigold did shrink Lacey Clench to the size of a gerbil. But that was an accident. And, yes, most people weren''t prepared for Nory to transform into a squippy (that''s half squid, half puppy) -- but it''s not like Nory meant to mix up paws and tentacles. And while Bax does have the unfortunate magical condition of turning into a stone, he swears he has nothing to do with the rocky magic that''s been happening in Dunwiddle''s halls. When things get messy, it''s easy to point your finger at the kids with the messiest magic. But the Upside-Down Magic students aren''t going to let themselves get in trouble. Instead, they''re going to find out what''s really going on -- and get their school back on track before something really wacky happens.
