YES! I was just about to recommend The True Meaning of Smekday! (I read it as an adult and thoroughly enjoyed it; L read it at 9, according to my journal tags, and also really liked it.)
This is the book the animated movie Home was vaguely based on, but the book is SO much better!
William Sleator wrote a bunch of juvenile sci-fi that I remember enjoying as a kid (Interstellar Pig, and I feel like I read a bunch more, but don't recall any of the other titles), but no idea how well these books have aged since the 70s...
