      Významná rodina Sinclairovcov prichádza každé leto na svoj súkromný ostrov pri Massachusetts, aby tam trávila prázdniny. Rok čo rok sa tak stretávajú aj štyri spriaznené duše, sesternice Cadence a Mirren, bratranec Johnny a Gat. Ten celkom nepatrí do rodiny, čo mu hrdí Sinclairovci dávajú pocítiť. Rodina ich nazýva Klamári. Sú v rovnakom veku, a keď sa stretnú, robia len zlobu. Počas pätnásteho leta sa na ostrove stane nehoda. Cadence nájdu na pláži takmer bez života. Keď sa po čase preberie v nemocnici, na nič si nepamätá. Nikto z rodiny jej nechce prezradiť, čo sa vlastne stalo, a nasledujúci rok jej zakážu vrátiť sa na ostrov. Cadence trpí príšernými migrénami, jej najvernejšími priateľmi sú lieky proti bolesti. Píše Klamárom e-maily, posiela pohľadnice, no ani od jedného nedostáva odpoveď. Dokonca ani od Gata, s ktorým sa do seba zaľúbili. Čo im spravila, že na ňu zanevreli? Na sedemnáste leto sa dostáva na ostrov opäť a Klamári ju privítajú s úsmevom, akoby sa nič nestalo. No ani zďaleka to nie je pravda...

      The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next installment of this New York Times bestselling series! It's Big Night in Dunwiddle . . . and that means the whole school has a sleepover like no other. For one night every year, magic students run through the halls, hunting for the objects that will win them a super special prize. Nory is super excited for the scavenger hunt. Not only because she likes winning, but also because if her team wins, she thinks there's a chance her best friend Elliott won't move away to attend super snobby Sage Academy. Sebastian is a little less excited once the hunt is on. Yes, he has magical powers that help his team -- like being able to see invisible things or anything that makes a sound. The problem is that the really loud sounds are hurting him . . . and nobody seems to care. The kids in Upside-Down Magic know their five F's (Flares, Flyers, Fuzzies, Flickers, and Fluxers) -- but to win this night, a sixth F is the most important . . . Friendship.

It's time to figure out how Marigold and her friends can make a big statement... without disappearing entirely!
