Peter is the only one in his family without a cold, making him the designated 'nose' to solve the mystery of strange smells. But can he uncover the truth before he, too, succumbs to the sniffles? Dive into a world where science meets fun, and discover if Peter can outsmart the odds in this engaging STEM adventure. With each page, young readers will explore the wonders of the sense of smell through exciting experiments and activities. Will Peter's scientific curiosity lead to a solution, or will he be left sneezing like the rest?
