Synopsis

Andy Whiffler―Super Schnoz―is the world’s loudest snorer. His snoring is so thunderous that on most nights it registers a 4.5 on the Richter scale. When his powerful snoring penetrates the atmosphere, the aliens from planet Apnea begin harvesting Super Schnoz’s sleepy-time snuffles to power their civilization and create Robo-Nose, a gigantic metal snout, set to take over the planet. Can Super Schnoz, the Not Right Brothers, and Vivian out-snot the mechanical booger maker?

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–6—Super Schnoz, a.k.a. Andy Whiffler, is at it again. Saving the world from total annihilation at the hands of crazed space invaders is right up his alley, especially when the evil Apneas are stealing their main weapon of mass destruction right from under Super Schnoz's nose. Every night while he is sound asleep, the Apneas materialize into Andy's room to "abduct" the snores which are locked away deep inside his nose. Why? Because Andy's super-sized nose contains the most powerful snores known to man. Capable of inducing major earthquakes, Andy's snores are wreaking havoc in his town of Denmark, New Hampshire. The Apneas are shoring up on Andy's snores in order to fuel the Robo-Nose, their Earth-destroying machine which, not coincidentally, is built as an exact replica of Andy's humongous nose. Urey's exciting sequel has Andy teaming up with his faithful crew, Vivian and the Not-Right-Brothers, to go nose-to-nose with the deranged extraterrestrial Apneas in a battle to save their town. Bountiful in his nose-related wordplay, Urey crafts fast-moving chapters full of gross-out humor that will surely appeal to reluctant readers and connoisseurs of middle school jokes. Frawley's cartoon illustrations add to the readability of the chapters by conveying humor and the many hijinks at play. Interspersed with science facts and meaty vocabulary, this is a story about friendship, teamwork, resolve and courage in the face of world-destroying catastrophe.—Lettycia Terrones, California State University, Pollak Library, Fullerton , CA
