This zany sci-fi story is definitely going on my best reads of the year list! After Earth is invaded by the Boov, 11-year-old Gratuity Tucci grudgingly writes an assigned essay about the takeover for a contest to celebrate the event. Smekday, once known as Christmas, has become known as the day Captain Smek and the Boov moved in. But Gratuity's essay does not stop there. She recounts her incredible and hilarious adventures after Smekday, as she befriends a renegade alien and together they journey across the country in a flying car to find her mother. When a second alien race decides they want earth, things get even nuttier. Gratuity is full of spunk and sass, and along with her alien sidekick and pet cat (named Pig), readers are in for a riotous adventure to save the planet!
