Fifth title in the best-selling Jiggy McCue series. A new girl at Jiggy's school has an allergy - her nose runs dramatically at unexpected times. Everyone shuns her except Angie, to Pete and Jiggy's disgust. One day, in class, the new girl does a mighty sneeze, spraying snot all over the window, and Jiggy sees pictures in it that foretell the future. It turns out that the girl has reached the age where females in her family develop a Gift - hers is to be able to tell the future via her nose - she's something of a Nostrilamus. Meanwhile, the three friends, Jiggy, Pete and Angie have found a creature on the council tip - a small, brown, furry character, the Snottle, that seems to have a strange bond with the new girl...
