Tom Henderson (a.k.a. King Dork, Chi-mo, Hender-fag,
and Sheepie) is a typical American high school loser until he
discovers the book, The Catcher in the Rye, that will
change the world as he knows it. When Tom discovers his deceased
father’s copy of the Salinger classic, he finds himself
in the middle of several interlocking conspiracies and at least
half a dozen mysteries involving dead people, naked people, fake
people, ESP, blood, a secret code, guitars, monks, witchcraft,
the Bible, girls, the Crusades, a devil head, and rock and roll.
And it all looks like it’s just the tip of a very odd iceberg
of clues that may very well unravel the puzzle of his father’s
death and–oddly–reveal the secret to attracting semihot
girls.
Being in a band could possibly be the secret to the girl thing–but
good luck finding a drummer who can count to four.
"This book is for you if you're in a band or wish you were, if you loved
or hated Catcher in the Rye, if you like girls or are one, if you've ever
spoken Francais or Franglais, or if your high school has or had a dumb mascot.
Basically, if you are a human being with even a vague grasp of the English language, King
Dork will rock your world."
-John Green, author of Looking for Alaska
