This fifth entry focuses on the prickly dynamic between Nory (who turns into hybrid animals such as a "squippy"--half-squid, half-puppy) and Willa (who makes it rain indoors) plus their caught-in-the-middle friend, Elliot. As usual with this entertaining series set in a magic school, each character is fully rounded, with alternating perspectives providing broader pictures of the various classmates.
