Reviews"Rex packs his sequel with loads of action and a steady spotlight on friendship; plus, he adds witty send-ups of political elections, time travel, and even sports rules (again using cartoon panels to good effect). And his humor is, as it was in Smekday , laugh-out-loud funny."-- The Horn Book, "Rex is a comic genius who has created a laugh- and groan-out-loud novel filled with spaceship chases, bubbling billboards, villainous villains, and reluctant heroes to say nothing of rousing games of Stickyfish and the obligatory of garbage pit. Hilarious cartoons will please graphic novel fans."-- School Library Journal, "Inventive language, a smart and resourceful heroine, and an unerring sense of fun all contribute to a playful, action-packed sequel."-- Publishers Weekly, "Plenty of gleeful ridiculousness adorns this outing, which is illustrated with Rex's own fanciful comics... This sequel shares the strengths of its predecessor: the loving friendship between Tip and J.Lo, the respect for the absurd, and the social consciences of the teen protagonist and her ET BFF."-- Kirkus Reviews, Having saved the world in The True Meaning of Smekday (2007), Tip Tucci and her alien sidekick, J.Lo, decide to seek adventure on the new homeworld of the extraterrestrial Boov, located on a moon of Saturn. Upon their arrival on New Boovworld, Tip and J.Lo learn that the Boov are hosting their first democratic election and quickly get embroiled in the race for the Boov Oval Office. Captain Smek faces off against the human Dan Landry, who took credit for Tip and J.Lo's world-saving plot from the previous book. Rex's humorous wordplay and insightful satire remain on full display (on the whole enterprise of elections, J.Lo observes, "I have been watching the Americans. You like to think you decide things, but you only ever decide not to change. Because you are afrightened of change. You are the man who likes a big menu but always orders hamburgers"). Inventive language, a smart and resourceful heroine, and an unerring sense of fun all contribute to a playful, action-packed sequel. Final art not seen by PW. Ages 8 12.-- PW

SynopsisIn this much-anticipated sequel to The True Meaning of Smekday , which inspired the blockbuster feature film Home , Tip and J.Lo are back for another hilarious intergalactic adventure! After Tip and J.Lo banished the Gorg from Earth, the pair is notorious--but not for their heroics.

Determined to clear his name, J.Lo and Tip 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, since J.Lo is now dubbed Public Enemy Number One. 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.
