Best friends Orville Orbit and Myron Maloney have an astronomical idea for fourth grade's most galactically awesome science project in the universe! Along with Myron's gassy cow, Mooey, they engineer the Mooey Pooey Machine, a poo converter that supplies methane gas for the spaceship they're building. Big bully Raunchy Ralphie, the snarly Principal Snodgrass, and the cranky teacher Mrs. Finklehoffer make life difficult. But never underestimate the determination of a nerdy, super-smart fourth-grader, his farm-boy sidekick and a gassy, Brussels sprout-loving cow! If you love the orneriness of Harold and George in Captain Underpants, you'll love the equally hilarious antics of Orville Orbit and Myron Maloney.
