Synopsis

Steve "Sneeze" Wyatt was born to invent things, and his latest gadget-- the Nice Alarm, which wakes you up with a gentle tap on the shoulder--promises to make him rich and famous! All Sneeze needs to do is attend the Invention Convention, and he will be catapulted into stardom. So, when Sneeze's convention plans are nixed by his parents, who have enrolled him in a creative writing class instead, he is appalled. For his first writing project, Sneeze starts a list of ways to bug his parents. It keeps growing until he hits upon a brilliant plan--a plan that will enable him to attend the convention with or without his parents. . . .
