(2) 4-6 When invading aliens kidnap her mother, eleven-year-old Tip Tucci heads off to find her. Holding interest with a Daniel Pinkwaterish sense of humor, Rex's sci-fi/road-trip amalgam is loosely structured as a personal essay written by Tip two years after the invasion. Black-and-white illustrations--a combination of Tip's Polaroid snapshots, comic-book panels, and additional drawings--capture the escapades.
