Upside-Down Magic centers around 13-year-old Nory Boxwood Horace (Rose), who discovers that
she can flux into animals, and her best friend Reina Carvajal (Agudong), who
can manipulate flames, as they enter the Sage Academy for Magical Studies.
Reina’s ability to expertly harness the power of fire lands her at the top of
her class of “Flares,” but Nory’s wonky magic and proclivity for
turning into a “Dritten”—a half-kitten, half-dragon—lands her in a
class for those with defective, Upside-Down Magic, otherwise known as UDM.
While Headmaster Knightslinger (Lewis) believes the UDM’s defective powers leave
them vulnerable to the dangerous and evil “shadow magic,” Nory and
her group of misfits set out to prove that Upside-Down Magic beats right side
up.

Nory is a funny charismatic and optimistic heroine who wholeheartedly believes that unusual talents along with those of her “wonky friends” are just as valuable as those of her peers. At the heart of his wonderful story is Nory and Reina’s friendship. They help each other learn what makes them different and special.
Upside-Down Magic is based on the Scholastic book series from best selling authors Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins with a teleplay by Nick Pustay and Josh Cagan.
Executive Producers are Suzanne Farwell, Susan Cartsonis with Joe Nussbaum who also serves as director. Production begins today and the movie is scheduled to air next summer.
