Smek for President!
ByPublisher Description
In this much anticipated sequel to The True Meaning of Smekday, Tip and J.Lo are back for another hilarious intergalactic adventure. And this time (and last time, and maybe next time), they want 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 that 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 the alien is the only way he'll stand a chance in the Boovs' 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 once piece.

“re-read 2024:
If you ever want to schedule some quiet time to think about what a bad daughter you are, may I suggest the silent inky blackness of space? If you're like me, you'll really get to feeling like garbage right around the boring stretch between Mars and Jupiter.
This book is all about family and friendship and it's the perfect sequel to the first book. The speed with which Tip tells Landry "he's still my brother" about J.Lo made me tear up a little, I just adore them so much.
re-read 2020:
I found myself wishing I could comfort the giant girl on the screen - look at those puffy eyes, that hair. If she were my friend, I realized, I'd probably tell her to call her mother.
(She wasn't, though. She was about to badmouth J.Lo.)
But then if her mother was anything like my mother, she'd be better off solving her own problems. Mom had been so not there when I was growing up that when she got sucked right out of my life by a spaceship, it was like the punchline to a joke that hadn't been funny for years, you know?
The sick feeling in my stomach told me that I was full of it. Even the girl on the screen was shaking her head.
We both took a breath.
"Don't be like me," I told her. "Don't be afraid to trust people; don't be afraid to love."
Of course, by telling her this, I was really telling it to a million Boov. That must have been confusing.
this book is something truly special, and I'm happy to call the duology one of my all-time faves.
original read 2017:
"So..." I said. "Were you thrown away too, then?"
Funsize stopped. "Yes. Thrown away like garbage. A criminal, tossed onto the scrap heap like a heap of scrap. Discarded by society."
Wow this book was amazing. Half the time I was hanging onto my Hoverbutt for dear life, and the other half I was laughing out loud (not something that happens often while reading). When I finished The True Meaning of Smekday , I knew I would have to pick up the sequel as soon as I could get my hands on it. I'm so glad I did.
Being back with Tip and J.Lo was fantastic. I love their friendship so much, and I don't think that's going to change any time soon. I mean, just listen to this quote:
J.Lo looked pensive. "I am thinking," he said, "that we are easy because you and me, we never did expect to understands each other. We are happily surprised every day to be friends at all. But with our own peoples... we cannot forgive their differentness."
How precious is that?
so yeah, if you're a fan of friendship, bubble-blowing billboards named Bill, or death-ray pagodas, this series is one for you.”
