Plot
After being transferred to the Otto-Leonhard Gymnasium, 11-year old Félix Vorndran discovers that the school is haunted by the spirit of its founder, Otto Leonhard, who grants him a strange magical ability. During a confrontation with Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein, the school principal, Félix accidentally uses the school's magic to shrink her down to 15 centimeters. With the principal tiny, panicked, and furious, Félix tries to hide her from his classmates and parents. He and his best friends Ella and Mario team up to find a way to reverse the spell. The school's vice principal, who wants to take over the school for himself, becomes suspicious. Félix tries to protect the principal until he and his friends figure out how to restore her to her original size.
