The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex

4.0

I truly enjoyed "The True Meaning of Smekday"! At first I wasn't sure about it as it is written my 13 yr old Gratuity Tucci so it's a bit rough at times, but I loved how it moved along. Now if you think this is going to be EXACTLY like the movie, you'd be very wrong. The only similarities are the name and description of the Boov, slushious, Pig the cat, the holes in everything from the Boovs weapons, and Gratuity Tuccis' name. They never leave the U.S. even though the premise is still Tip trying to find her mom. I actually enjoyed that the story line was so different as it held my attention more than it would have if it was exactly like the movie based off of it.

The comic strips throughout the book also added a bit of extra flare ❤
