When fourth-grader George starts at a new school, he vows to become a model student instead of the class clown he has always been, but just as his plan is going really well, he is overtaken by a magic burp that turns him back into a mischief-maker.

"Simple text and colorful photos describe what happens when we burp and why it's important"--

Ten-year-old George Brown tries his best to earn money for a special toy he wants, but whether he is working in his mother's craft shop or setting up a backyard circus, the magic burps erupt at exactly the wrong time and foil his plans.

George is representing his school at the county-wide spelling bee, and hopes to compete without getting overpowered by an embarrassing, magic super burp.

As the students at his school prepare for a talent show and class presentations about Hawaii, fourth-grader George tries hard to behave but his magic super burps keep getting him in trouble.
