Official synopsis Publisher
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.
