Bookroo's summary

Bertha's ordinary life takes a wild turn when her extraordinary burp causes chaos, knocking over apples and glasses. Her newfound fame skyrockets with concert performances and media offers. But as her celebrity status grows, Bertha must navigate the perils of her unusual talent. Is her stardom just a fleeting bubble, or will it burst under the pressure? Discover the hilarious and cautionary tale of a girl whose burp changes everything.

From the publisher

Hilariously illustrated, a cautionary story about a girl with an amazing talent for burping

On an ordinary morning, in an ordinary room, an up-till-now perfectly ordinary Bertha does an extremely extra-ordinary burp. A burp so extraordinary, it knocks things over—including apples off of trees and even her teacher’s glasses off his face! When word of her humongous burp gets out, she is asked to perform at the school concert, and from that point on Bertha’s fame is assured. TV, recording, and film offers flood in. But burping can be a dangerous skill . . . is her new found celebrity stardom all just a lot of hot air?
