Description

On an ordinary morning, in an ordinary flat, an up-till-now perfectly ordinary Bertha does an extraordinary burp. A burp so extraordinary, it knocks things over. A burp so humongously big that very soon it's causing havoc in the school canteen, the playground, not to mention her grandad's apple trees... Such a burptastic secret cannot stay quiet for long. And soon enough it lands Bertha her very own celebrity stardom...but is it all just a lot of hot air

Reviews

"Harks back, like Horrid Henry, to the comic strips of Dennis the Menace or Minnie the Minx" -- Lorna Bradbury * Telegraph *
"The subject and slapstick will find large guffaws of appreciation from a broad range of primary ages." * The School Librarian *
