Upside-Down Magic is a Scholastic book series by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins.[1] The series follows eight kids in a world with magical abilities: Elinor "Nory" Boxwood Horace, Elliott Cohen, Bax Kapoor, Andres Padillo, Pepper Phan, Marigold Ramos, Willa Ingeborg, and Sebastian Boondoggle.
Flyers have the power of levitation, starting out by staying a few feet above the floor. Advanced Flyers are able to transport others, or have telekinesis.
Fuzzies
Fuzzies can communicate with animals and start out feeding animals and later connect with them. Certain Fuzzies can understand animal language.
Fluxers
Fluxers can turn into animals. They mostly start out fluxing into kittens, then move on to more difficult animals. The protagonist Nory, is an Upside down magic fluxer, that can add certain aspects of multiple different at once, like the squid-puppy, squppy.
Flares can set things on fire, heat things up, and create flames. The fire typically appears from their hands, but some can produce it from their mouth.
Flickers
Flickers can make other things invisible or make themselves invisible. Powerful Flickers are able to select parts of an object to turn invisible. In the film, due to budget constraints, Flickers have telekinesis.
Upside Down Magic (UDM)
UDM is an unconventional power, usually a variant or opposite of the above five. For example, Bax Kapoor is a Fluxer who turns into rocks and other inanimate objects. Also, Elliot Cohen can produce ice and fire as a Flare. Sometimes it's just random, and not related to one of the five, like Marigold Ramos who has the ability to shrink objects.
Double-Talents
Double talents are rare and possess two types of magic. For example, Mitali is a Flare-Fluxer who turns into animals who are able to perform flare magic.
