King Dork was introduced to me by my younger brother, and has fast become one of my favorites. A book about the high school experience, the main character, Tom Henderson, better known as Chimo or just plain Mo, and his best friend Sam Hellerman have their own band. You would expect the book to then be about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but you'd be surprised when you learn that Mo is also an avid reader. Comedy mixed in with coming of age experiences makes this one a book that I can read over and over again.
