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.

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.

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.
