The True Meaning of Smekday
by Rex, Adam
Hyperion
May 2009
ages 8-12
Paperback

Six months after aliens have taken over the earth and renamed it Smekland, and 8th grader must write an essay on "the true meaning of Smekday".

Includes photos, newspaper clippings and comic sequences... but the thing here is: the book's hilarious. When my niece was reading, she had to keep stopping to read out loud to us the things that were cracking her up.

Such a fun book.
