I am a 48 year old home school mom who read this book after hearing my 16 year old daughter laughing uproariously throughout the two days in which she devoured the book. I found it just as funny, well-written, and entertaining. I love the loyalty exhibited by Gratuity and J Lo, the depth of the characters, the tongue in cheek cultural observations, and the friendships and family ties that overcome any and all obstacles. I will purchase a copy for our home library and wait with great anticipation until my 7 year old is ready for his introduction to Smekland. Please say there is a sequel on the way!

Beware the Gorg, but the Boov can be kinda cute!
Who can resist a buddy story about a cross-country trek made by an 11-year-old girl named Gratuity and her outcast, sidekick alien Boov named J.Lo who likes to eat soap, dental floss and soda cans! And those Gorg sure are poomps. Personally, I love this book! The humor is rampant and good feelings are everywhere. I am reading it at bedtime to my 8-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. She "gets" most of the jokes, he doesn't, but still likes the story. We are buying this one for our home library!

Hilarious, smart, touching book
A hilarious, fantastic, touching, smart book. This is laugh-out-loud funny. It features a whip-smart 12-year-old protagonist who thinks for herself and is loyal to her family and friends. Her buddy is an alien - a Boov - and the bond between the two of them fuels this gripping road trip story. Superb social satire that will be picked up by older kids. Go read this book!
