Burton Bell Whitney Knockwurst's eponymous invention--part rocket, part skateboard--brings the 11-year-old excitement aplenty. According to PW , ``Burton's wool-gathering ways and familiarity with matters scientific add depth to the story's frothy mix of adventure and family squabbling.'' Ages 10-14. (Mar.)
