Lisa recommends "The True Meaning of Smekday"


When Tip Tucci is assigned a five page essay on The True Meaning of Smekday, where should she start? Should she begin with when the Boov kidnapped her mom on Christmas Eve, which is now Smekday? How about when the Boov declared Earth a colony and relocated all Americans to Arizona. Or maybe when she meets a renegade Boov mechanic named J. Lo who changes her normal car into a floating hovercar named Slucious? Tip and J. Lo travel cross-country in Slucious to reunite Tip with her mom in time to save the planet from yet another alien invasion. Coming from a non-science fiction fan, this is a great read that readers will not want to put down.

Recommended for grades 5+
