Superhero Jo Schmo has a problem: There aren't any crimes to fight in San Francisco! So she and her doggy sidekick Raymond build a time machine and head back to the Gold Rush Days to track down the notorious burping outlaw Wyatt Burp. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing back in the present time. Two mean girls have it in for Jo, and they're lying in wait for her with a wrecking ball. If Wyatt and his Hole in the Head gang don't get her, Gertrude and Betty...

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 burb that turns him back into an irresponsible mischief-maker.

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

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's fourth-grade field trip to the science museum is ruined by one magic burp after another, causing him to wreak havoc on the exhibits and lose a bet to a classmate.

"Durkee the Turkey had a fan-shaped tail; Stocky pink legs and feathers with beautiful detail. He had a down-curving bill; a bare head and neck; Above his right eye; he had a copper-coloured speck. It wasn't this, however, that made Durkee stand out from the crowd; It was the fact that he could belch beyond field, farm and cloud. His burps were loud, his burps were long; He could burp to the tune of his favourite song."

In two separate stories, George looks forward to Christmas, but the class play and and a surprise visit with Kevin, his best friend from when he lived in Cherrydale, are both marred by the magic burps.
