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.
