Relates how the water in a park is used in different ways by the human and animal inhabitants of a neighborhood.

A child describes every event that occurs on a Wednesday, from waking up while it is still dark out and deciding it is not a kissing day, through a half-day of school, to snuggling into bed at night.

Publisher Annotation: There once was a frozen forest so cold, you could feel it through the soles of your boots. It was a strange place where some kisses broke enchantments and others began them. Many said witches lived there ? some with cold hearts, others with hot ovens and ugly appetites ? and also dwarves in tiny houses made of stones.

The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next installment of this New York Times bestselling series!

Tonight is the Big Night sleepover at Dunwiddle Magic School, when all the fifth graders stay overnight at school and participate in the scavenger hunt, except Nory's friend Elliott is attending a concert at rival Sage Academy where he plans to attend after the winter break--but if Nory can convince her fellow upside-down magic friends to take the hunt seriously, cooperate, and win, than maybe she can convince Elliott to stay at Dunwiddle.
