In this humorous chapter book, George faces a common childhood fear: public speaking and embarrassment. When his class project on family trees is slated for live TV, George discovers a surprising royal connection to a little-known country. His biggest worry, however, is not just being different, but his tendency to burp at the worst possible moments. This story gently explores themes of self-consciousness, bravery, and accepting oneself, all wrapped in a funny, relatable package for early elementary readers.
"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!"--
