Nose Pickers from Outer Space Books in Order

The Nose Pickers from Outer Space books are unapologetically goofy sci-fi, with a central joke that’s as gross as it is memorable. The series follows Devin, a regular kid whose life gets hijacked by an alien named Stan Mflxnys, who arrives with a bizarre mission involving noses and an intergalactic ransom.

Yes, really.

What makes the series work is that Devin reacts the way a normal person would, which is to be horrified and confused, while Stan treats everything as totally reasonable. That mismatch drives the comedy, but there’s also a real story underneath it: Devin gets pulled into a problem that keeps growing, and he has to keep choosing between saving himself and doing the right thing.

The first book, Nosepickers from Outer Space, sets the tone with a mix of school life, family life, and sudden alien nonsense. Stan’s plan drags Devin into a much bigger world, with weird rules, stranger enemies, and consequences that keep escalating.

From there, the books keep expanding the alien side of the story. Planet of the Nose Pickers pushes Devin closer to the source of the problem, and later titles like Your Mummy is a Nose Picker and Invasion of the Nose Pickers continue the pattern: new twists, new threats, and Devin trying to keep any part of his life normal.

This series is for readers who like comedy that leans into the ridiculous.

If you want a clean reading order, start with Nosepickers from Outer Space and go forward. Each book has its own mess to deal with, but the ongoing alien situation, and Devin’s relationship with Stan, makes the most sense when you follow the series in sequence.
