(Grades 4-8) Gratuity "Tip" Tucci has had it with the Boov. The benign but dopey aliens landed on Earth last Christmas, renamed it Smekday in honor of their captain, and decided to relocate all humans to Florida. Separated from her mother, 11-year-old Tip decides to drive herself to Florida, along with her cat, Pig. It's quite the adventure.
