Gratuity a 12 ans, un nom très étrange et surtout un objectif : retrouver sa mère enlevée par les aliens. Et lorsqu'on habite, comme elle, dans un pays envahi par les Boov, d'étranges extraterrestres à huit pattes, c'est plus facile à dire qu'à faire. Surtout que les envahisseurs ont non seulement renommé notre chère planète bleue Smekland mais aussi décidé de parquer toute la population dans une réserve naturelle d'humains : la Floride. Et les oranges, ça a du bon, mais seulement pendant un temps.

À bord de sa voiture volante et accompagnée de son chat Porky et d'un Boov recherché par les siens, l'adolescente va traverser les États-Unis, déclencher un mouvement de résistance, et peut-être, en chemin, déjouer plus d'une invasion alien.

C'est la rentrée. Tout le monde est un peu nerveux. Particulièrement l'école.

L'école fait sa rentrée

Doug Lee is undead quite by accident-attacked by a desperate vampire, he finds himself cursed with being fat and fifteen forever. When he has no luck finding some goth chick with a vampire fetish, he resorts to sucking the blood of cows under cover of the night. But it's just not the same. Then he meets the new Indian exchange student and falls for her-hard. Yeah, he wants to bite her, but he also wants to prove himself to her. But like the laws of life, love, and high school, the laws of vampire existence are complicated-it's not as easy as studying Dracula. Especially when the star of Vampire Hunters is hot on your trail in an attempt to boost ratings.
