Reach for this book when you want to help a child navigate the absurdity of leadership or when they feel like their voice is too small to change a big system. In this sequel to The True Meaning of Smekday, Tip and her alien friend J.Lo travel to the Boov home planet to interfere with a high stakes election. It is a brilliant satire that uses humor to explore how people in power can be fallible, selfish, or just plain ridiculous. While the setting is zany and full of space travel, the emotional core focuses on the loyalty between two friends who are very different from one another. It encourages children to look critically at 'great leaders' and value honesty over popularity. It is perfect for kids aged 8 to 12 who enjoy snarky humor and are starting to ask questions about how the world is run.
