Utterly Yours, Booker Jones

Famous author-to-be Booker Jones is having trouble finishing his latest sci-fi masterpiece, "Space Cows." First, he's exiled from his bedroom when his grandfather moves in. Then, his big sister Libba takes his typewriter away. To make matters worse, the school rally is looming, and with it the speech he has to write -- and the prospect of utter humiliation! "This adroit novel about a gifted and eccentric boy will appeal to other young bookworms and would-be writers." -- "Kirkus Reviews"
