They have finally arrived, the aliens have come to Smekland, Er… I mean Earth. What will happen to the world now that they’re here, find out in The True Meaning Of Smekday, by Adam Rex. This strange but fast paced and exciting book is about a girl named Gratuity, but everyone calls her Tip. The mane idea of this book is there is an invasion by aliens, the aliens are called the Boov. everyone thinks the Boov are bad news and so does Tip, at first. the Boov send all the people of the U.S.A to one one state, California. On the way to California Tip meets a Boov, his earth name is J.Lo. J.Lo convinces Tip to take him with her, and after awhile they become friends.

When Tip and J.Lo got to california they learned that the dang Boov had changed their mind, now all the people of the U.S.A get to live in Arizona, so they started the long long trek to the other side of the country. In the middle of their ride, a different alien species comes to earth, this species is called the Gorg. The Gorg and Boov fight for the planet, The Gorg win by s lot and before the Boov retreat, J.Lo convisis Tip that the gorg are bad news, much worse than the Boov, so The two of them put their heads together and think of a plan to get rid of the Gorg.

This book is very fun and never really that slow, even just diving they make fun with the comedy. I would recommend this book to pretty much everyone, this book has so many different themes that there is something for everyone (accepted if you like really slow books). I loved this book and if you read it, I hope you like it just as much as I did.
