King Dork

Book 1 of 1 in King Dork #1

2006

by Frank Portman

King Dork is a coming-of-age, rock-and-roll, Da Vinci Code-style tale where high school loser Tom Henderson discovers his deceased father's copy of The Catcher in the Rye and finds himself in the middle of several interlocking conspiracies and at least half a dozen mysteries.

Tom, also known as King Dork, suddenly finds high school getting more complicated as he uncovers clues that may solve the puzzle of his father's death and reveal the secret to attracting semi-hot girls. The secret might just be being in a band—if he can find a drummer who can count to four.

This brilliant story is told in first person and includes a glossary and a bandography, which readers will find both helpful and hilarious.
