Snoodles in Space: Escape from Zoodletraz

Snoodles in Space: Escape from Zoodletraz is the third out‑of‑this‑world adventure in Steven Joseph and Andy Case’s wildly imaginative Snoodles universe. The story follows Droodle the Poodle and Doo Doo Kidoodle, who accidentally break the biggest rule on Planet Zoodle—no pets allowed. Their punishment lands Droodle and fellow poodle Schmoodle in Zoodletraz, the galaxy’s most escape‑proof prison, “this side of the Milky Way,” described as Alcatraz with more tentacles and fewer lawyers .

To break free, readers meet an unforgettable cast of brilliantly bonkers heroes: noodle‑powered scientists, intergalactic musicians, trash‑can‑drumming cats, and a villain so cranky he reads self‑help books about revenge. The jailbreak features wild inventions like the Jalapeño Popadoodle Noodle, the Balloonadoodle, and the Cloakadoodle Swoodle Car—all part of the book’s signature wackadoodle charm .

Packed with vibrant, high‑energy illustrations by Andy Case, the book delivers nonstop humour, bold visuals, and zero boring parts, making it a perfect fit for young readers who love silly sci‑fi, chaotic comedy, and noodle‑powered nonsense. Critics praise it as a laugh‑out‑loud ride and a guaranteed hit for families, with multiple awards including the 2025 Mom’s Choice Award, The Golden Wizard Book Prize, and the Firebird Book Award .
