Wyatt Burp Rides Again

Wyatt Burp Rides Again
By Greg Trine, illustrated by Frank W. Dormer
New York:  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012, Ages 6-9

This is a story about a girl detective who is bored because there are no crimes to fight. To fix this problem, Jo builds a time traveling machine to go back and catch Wyatt Burp. Wyatt is a strange character who can blow bank doors off with his burps.

The story had great voice and is easily understandable.

 The illustrations support the text very well. The primary medium is pencil. Although they are simple, they help to tell the story.

I really liked the book. I think other kids would enjoy it especially the ones who like numerous stories. I definitely think this book is more designed for boys who like adventure and humor. But definitely a good read for all.
