Fourth-grader George gets help from his friend Alex in trying to control the magic burps that take control and cause him to misbehave in funny ways, but when the class bully celebrates his birthday at a water park, anything can happen.

In two stories, a magic wind changes Katie Carew into Olympic skating star Kerry Gaffigan, and then into Kerry's boyfriend, a famous snowboarder who is in town to film a commercial.

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

Middle school student Jenny McAfee is thrilled when two of her friends are chosen as finalists in the annual statewide history test challenge, but when rumors start that one of them cheated, Jenny decides to find out the truth.

When Jenny's friends hear that Addie is running unopposed for sixth grade class president, Jenny's friends know that they must convince Jenny to put her name on the ballot.

"George and his classmates are giving reports on their family trees, and their presentations will be broadcast on the local news. George is excited, but when he discovers he's related to the king of Arfendonia--a place no one has ever heard of--he panics. What if he makes a fool of himself on live TV? And even worse, what if his burp decides to make a guest appearance? Then George will be a total royal embarrassment!"--

When the magic wind turns fourth-grader Katie into her friend George, who has been playing practical jokes to liven up their school, she has to figure out how to get him out of trouble and sooth everyone's hurt feelings.

As Christmas approaches, Katie makes time to help others find the Christmas spirit as the magic wind first switches her with a Christmas tree farm employee, then with an unusual character at North Pole Winter Fun Park.

Just before Halloween, the magic wind helps fourth-grader Katie see the truth about a "witch" who lives in a supposedly haunted house.

During a class field trip to a Pilgrim village recreation, Katie finds herself replacing an actor playing a Pilgrim and, later, when her family goes to New York City, she becomes a clown in the Thanksgiving Day parade.
