King Dork: "Life is a wince-a-thon"

So there's this book called King Dork written by Frank Portman that's caught my eye.

Pop Candy says:

kingdorksmall.gif 6. It's a funny, intelligent, inspiring, can't-even-put- it-down-when-I- go-to- the-bathroom story. Seriously, I vowed to only write about this well-publicized book after I read it myself, and I'm happy to report that it's worth the hype.

The plot of King Dork involves a scrawny 10th grader trying to realize his rock 'n' roll dreams (and solve a murder mystery), but that's all you need to know. Skip the press and just read the dang thing. And for all of you doubters who don't believe you could appreciate something from the bookstore's "young adult" section, I suggest you bring those Harry Potter books out of hiding and get over it.

Here's the first chapter to get you started.

I read the excerpt and have come to one conclusion..."I am King Dork"
