Bookroo's summary

Seven-year-old Yonie, known for his insatiable curiosity, is left in charge of the farm while his parents are away. Promised a reward for keeping things in order, Yonie's night takes a dramatic turn when a fierce storm hits. Can he rise to the challenge and protect the farm from chaos, or will his curiosity lead to unforeseen trouble? As the storm rages, Yonie must confront his fears and prove his mettle in a situation that would challenge even the bravest adult.

From the publisher

“Ach!” Yonie scolded himself, “here I am, being a Wondernose, just like always.”Seven-year-old Yonie is a wondernose because he can’t keep his nose out of anything. It seems that his nose is always getting him into trouble. When Yonie’s parents go away overnight, he’s left as the man of the house and promised a special reward if he can keep himself and the farm out of trouble. But that night a bad storm brings trouble–the kind that not even a full-grown man could handle easily.A Caldecott Honor Book
