The True Meaning of Smekday
If you like adventure and fantasy books you should read The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex. The reading level is a 4.5 but it’s kind of hard.
The boov (aliens) have taken over most of the US (except Florida and Pennsylvania). After the aliens took over most of the U.S.A. they named it after their Captain Smek. Gratuity gets picked to right an essay about the true meaning of Smekday.
While she’s doing this essay she gets wrapped up in an adventure, which includes her mom being abducted by the aliens because of a mole on her neck, moving to Florida, and leaving her new friends at Happy Mouse Kingdom.
In all this she meets an alien named J.Lo who is in hiding, but from whom? Find all this out in more by this adventure/fantasy book by Adam Rex.
On a scale from 1 to 5 I would rate it a 3, because it didn’t have very much detail and the author would skip back and forth to Gratuity talking and the author talking, and it was very confusing.
