In his continuing, but mainly disastrous, efforts to be an upstanding, responsible ten-year-old, George Brown decides it's time to earn some money. (There's also an expensive remote-controlled toy that he's been coveting.) But no matter what he tries—whether it's working at his mother's craft shop, opening a lemonade stand, or setting up a backyard circus for neighborhood kids—the magic burps erupt at exactly the wrong times and wreak havoc on George's entrepreneurial plans. Nancy Krulik is the author of many media-related books for young adults, including The New York Times best-seller Leonardo DiCaprio for Archway.
