Booklist - 05/15/2016 A political dilemma writ small, this sequel to Upside-Down Magic (2015), by a trio of well-known names, is especially timely in its sentiment. When everyday objects turn to stone at the Dunwiddle Magic School, who better to blame than Bax, whose magic often turns the boy himself into a rock? When another member of Ms. Starr’s special class (for kids who demonstrate odd magic) manages to accidentally shrink the group’s nemesis, Lacey, a showdown is inevitable as Lacey starts a petition to dissolve Ms. Starr’s program. Meanwhile Nory, the principal heroine, is making inroads under her tutor-coach with a regular magic group of Kittenball players. Will they turn on her, though, because of her unique abilities? With whimsical details like Kittenball, readers will be enchanted while absorbing lessons in fair play, and both Nory and Bax, it’s worth noting, are characters of color. The final takeaway is that students can make their school better—on the playing field and in the classroom. Lacey’s divisiveness doesn’t stand a chance! - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
