Contemporary Teen fiction by Frank Portman. Teenager Tom Henderson, aka Chi-Mo is at the bottom of the social ladder at Hillmont High School. His father died while working for the Police Department and his mother has remarried. Tom comes across some of his father's books, which causes Tom to wonder what sort of man his father was, from the scribblings and doodles in the books. He and his best friend do their best to avoid the bullies in school, and fantasize about the rock band that they plan to form. Then Tom begins to question the true nature of the events that took his father's life, and to obsess about a girl he met at a party.
