We are thrilled to announce the event for this, the second book from our YA hero, Frank Portman (AKA Doctor Frank of punk band the Mr. T. Experience).
We here at the Garden were the first nationally to blurb Frank's debut, King Dork before it hit in hardcover, way back in oh six. We threw him a swanky event at Cafe Verite then, in which the house was rocked by Frank's acoustic set with words and music custom made for the phenomenon that was King Dork, which went on to much universal acclaim everywhere, as we're sure you're aware.
We (and the rest of his legions of fans) have been waiting for this day for a long time. It is finally here. There will be live music. You mustn't miss it.Frank's home on the internets. We are thrilled to be joined by Tarot Card Reader extraordinaire Amy Roberts. Come get your new news!

Andromeda Klein(Hardcover (Cloth))

Andromeda Klein has a few problems.
Her hair is kind of horrible.
Her partner-in-occultism, Daisy, is dead.
Her secret, estranged, much older and forbidden boyfriend-in-theory, has gone AWOL.
And her mother has learned how to text.
In short, things couldn't get much worse. Until they do. Daisy seems to be attempting to make contact from beyond, books are starting to disappear from the library, and then, strangely and suddenly, Andromeda's tarot readings are beginning to predict events with bizarrely literal accuracy.
Omens are everywhere. Dreams; swords; fires; hidden cards; lost, broken, and dead cell phones . . . and what is Daisy trying to tell her?
In the ensuing struggle of neutral versus evil, it's Andromeda Klein against the world, modern society, demonic forces, and the "friends" of the library.
From Frank Portman, author of King Dork, comes another unique literary experience. Andromeda Klein is dark, funny, smart, and entirely unforgettable.

King Dork(Trade Paperback)
by
Portman, Frank
Format: Trade Paperback
Price:
$8.99
Published: Delacorte Press Books for Young Readers, 2008
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
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. "From the Hardcover edition."
