From the book cover
From Frank Portman (aka Dr. Frank) of the Mr. T. Experience (MTX) comes King Dork Approximately, the much awaited sequel to the beloved cult classic King Dork.
From Frank Portman (aka Dr. Frank) of the band the Mr. T Experience (MTX) comes the long-awaited sequel to the beloved cult classic King Dork, of which John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars, said, “Basically, if you are a human being with even a vague grasp of the English language, King Dork will rock your world.”
Aside from the stitches and the head wound, Tom Henderson is the same old King Dork. He’s still trying to work out who to finger for the new scar on his forehead, the memory loss, and his father’s mysterious death. But illicit female hospital visitations, The Catcher in the Rye, and the Hillmont High sex-pocalypse have made him a semi-new man.
What doesn’t make you stronger can kill you, though, and tenth grade, part two, promises to be a killer. Tom’s down one bloodstained army coat and one Little Big Tom, and now his most deeply held beliefs about alphabetical-order friendship, recycling, girls, rock and roll, and the stitching on jeans are about to totally and utterly fall apart.
Oh yeah, and he’s kind of made out with anywhere from three to nineteen girls, but mostly just two. So there’s that.
King Dork Approximately—it feels like the first time. Like the very first time.
