Jun. 20th, 2012 05:48 pmOMG, there is going to be a True Meaning of Smekday movie! That is the most amazing news I have read in weeks!
Guys, have you read The True Meaning of Smekday? Because you should totally read it. It has alien invasions and cats and road trips and not!Disney world and a main character named Gratuity (who goes by Tip) and families and found families and an alien named J-Lo and talks frankly about racism and colonialism in a way that I am not used to seeing in kidlit. Also, it is hilarious. And will make you cry.
Basically, you should watch this video and if you think it is at all funny, you should read this book. And then we should all keep our fingers crossed that the movie will be awesome.
(The audiobook is also awesome, btw. I was a little concerned about the way they would manage the book's frequent use of comics-style illustrations, but it's handled really well. And the reader is great, with a really wonderful J-Lo voice. So that is highly recommended also.)e
