The intergalactic mayhem of Snoodles in Space: Escape from Zoodletraz has officially rocketed to new heights with the announcement that the book has received the distinguished Literary Titan Gold Book Award. Author Steven Joseph's third installment in the Snoodles universe delivers a wildly imaginative, visually vibrant, and laugh-out-loud adventure that continues to delight readers of all ages.

In this cosmic escapade, Droodle the Poodle and Doo Doo Kidoodle break the biggest rule on planet Zoodle: no pets allowed. The consequences are immediate and hilariously dire. Droodle and fellow poodle Schmoodle are shipped off to Zoodletraz, the galaxy's most escape-proof prison. Picture Alcatraz with more tentacles and far fewer lawyers. What follows is a whirlwind of zany heroics, noodle-fueled science, talking cats pounding on trash can drum kits, interstellar musicians, and an unforgettable villain who studies revenge the way others study mindfulness. The story explodes with color, creativity, and nonstop charm.

Literary Titan praised the book for its comic book format, its fresh appeal to reluctant readers, its endearing emotional depth, and its rich, energetic illustrations by Andy Case. The review highlighted the book's community themes, character-driven heart, and immersive worldbuilding, calling it a standout experience in children's literature that encourages empathy, cooperation, and boundless imagination.

The book's origins are as unique as its pages. Joseph drew inspiration from illustrator Andy Case's 2023 album Leap of Faith, particularly three back-to-back songs that sparked the story's cinematic sense of movement and humor. Additional character inspirations span pop culture icons, classic film personalities, and even everyday NYC street scenes. With this fourth book in the Snoodles series, Joseph set a personal goal to outdo himself and expand the universe in wilder, more delightful directions. Mission accomplished.

Joseph hints at more adventures ahead, including a future revelation that beloved character Cloodle may not be from Zoodle at all. Readers can look forward to an origin story filled with courage, mystery, and interplanetary twists.

Blast off on the wildest escape mission in the galaxy. Snoodles in Space: Escape from Zoodletraz is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Grab your copy and discover why readers and reviewers alike are calling it a hilarious, heartfelt, and visually irresistible must-read.
