Review:

PRAISE FOR THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY

* "First-time novelist Rex has written an imaginative, wacky, hilarious sci-fi story that will appeal to fans of Eoin Colfer and Jon Scieszka. Lively cartoon-paneled illustrations are interspersed throughout and add to the fun. This is a fast-paced adventure with a whip-smart protagonist, a lovable and resourceful extraterrestrial, and plenty of social commentary."―School Library Journal, starred review

"Light political satire mixes with action, death rays, and time travel, making this book a smart, fun ride."―Booklist

* "[P]lenty 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, starred review

* "Rex is a comic genius."―School Library Journal, starred review

"Rex packs his sequel with loads of action and a steady spotlight on friendship...And his humor is, as it was in Smekday, laugh-out-loud funny."―The Horn Book

PRAISE FOR THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY

"The humor in this story is undeniably unique...the first half of the book is an entirely funny road trip of the Kerouac-meets-E.T. variety "―Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY

* "Who knew the end of the world could be so hilarious? Rex's high-octane fantasy could fairly be called an apocalyptic comedy."―Publishers Weekly, starred review

PRAISE FOR THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY

* "[G]uaranteed to tickle the middle-school funny bone."―Booklist, starred review
