Smek for President!

This second book in 'The Smek Smeries' continues the laugh-out-loud adventures of 12-year-old Tip Tucci and her quirky alien friend, J.Lo. After being wrongly blamed for the Boov's colonization woes, J.Lo is declared Public Enemy Number One, forcing the duo to travel to New Boovworld on Saturn's moon. Their mission: clear J.Lo's name amidst a chaotic Boov presidential election, involving time travel, flying billboards, and plenty of Boovish accents. It's a fast-paced, humorous science fiction story that celebrates friendship, perseverance, and standing up for what's right, perfect for independent readers aged 8-11 or as a lively read-aloud for younger children.

12-year-old Tip Tucci and her alien friend J.Lo are back for another hilarious intergalactic adventure -- and this time (and last time, and maybe next time), J.Lo wants to make things right with the Boov. After Tip and J.Lo banished the Gorg from Earth in a scheme involving the cloning of many, many cats, the pair is notorious -- but not for their heroics. Instead, human Dan Landry has taken credit for conquering the Gorg, and the Boov blame J.Lo for ruining their colonization of the planet. Determined to clear his name, J.Lo and Tip pack into Slushious, a Chevy J.Lo has engineered into a fairly operational spaceship, and head to New Boovworld, the aliens' new home on one of Saturn's moons. But their welcome isn't quite as warm as Tip and J.Lo would have liked. J.Lo is dubbed Public Enemy Number One, and Captain Smek knows that capturing him is the only way he'll stand a chance in the Boov's first-ever presidential election. With the help of a friendly flying billboard named Bill, a journey through various garbage chutes, a bit of time travel, and a slew of hilarious Boovish accents, Tip and J.Lo must fight to set the record straight -- and return home in one piece -- in this much anticipated sequel to The True Meaning of Smekday. - Container.
