    Dean Hughes

    Mass Market Paperback (Bantam, March 15, 1986)
    The new Nurd in Class. One look at the new kid eating in the school cafeteria and everyone agrees: William Bilks is a nurd. But Nutty and his friends are in for a big surprise. Because William is really a genius in disguise- even if he does say so himself- and he is going to prove it by making Nutty the school's first fifth-grade student council president. Still, can even a genius change Nutty from a class clown to model student in only two weeks? One thing is certain: Before he's through, William will turn the whole school upside down.

And this time (and last time, and maybe next time), they want to make things right with the Boov. After Tip and J.Lo banished the Gorg from Earth in a scheme involving the cloning of many, many cats, the pair is notorious???but not for their heroics. Instead, human Dan Landry has taken credit for conquering the Gorg, and the Boov blame J.Lo for ruining their colonization of the planet. Determined to clear his name, J.Lo and Tip pack into Slushious, a Chevy that J.Lo has engineered into a fairly operational spaceship, and head to New Boovworld, the aliens' new home on one of Saturn's moons.

With the help of a friendly flying billboard named Bill, a journey through various garbage chutes, a bit of time travel, and a slew of hilarious Boovish accents, Tip and J.Lo must fight to set the record straight???and return home in once piece.
