Book #1


Title: The True Meaning of Smekday

Author: Adam Rex

Genre: Science Fiction, Adventure

Description: This book is about an 11-year-old girl named Gratuity Tucci (nicknamed Tip) who lives in the United States, 2013. Like we have predicted, things are different in the future. Mainly, Earth has been taken over by the Boov, who are eight-legged aliens with weird eating habits. Earth now bears the name of Smekland. Everyone in America is being herded into one state: Florida. Gratuity skips taking the rocketpods there and decides to drive (which she learned how to do after her mother was abducted by the aliens.) On her journey, she meets a Boov named J.Lo. J.Lo is on the run, and the two soon form a team. Together, (in Gratuity's amazing floating car Slushious) they search for Gratuity's mom, discover the secret of Happy Mouse Kingdom, meet some fascinating characters, and finally conquer the threat of another more serious alien invasion.

I just have to say one more thing. If you haven't read The True Meaning of Smekday, go out to your nearest library/bookstore and get it ASAP!!

The book sounds really cute and it must have a lot of puns if the main character, whose name is Gratuity, is nicknamed "Tip," get it? nudge, nudge. It sounds like something I would enjoy reading.

Dear GMJ-
Yeah, i get it. In the story, people keep asking her if that is her real name. And whenever J.Lo's name is mentioned, people say, "Who? The actress?" These people have funny names.
