Summary: Life is changing quickly for Tom, the titular King Dork. in the wake of scandal his assistant principal has vanished and the school is closing its doors. For the first time in his school career Tom will be separated from his best friend Sam. Can Tom figure out the social structure of his new school, make his band a success, and get a real girlfriend at last?
My opinion: King Dork got a chuckle and an eyeroll from me. Fun, I figured, but not really something to write home about. This sequel, in the other hand, felt far more clever and noteworthy. I marked several passages I wanted to remember, either because they were thought-provoking or stinking funny. There is sufficient explanation for those who haven't read the first volume but not so much as to annoy those who have. A clever read for the dorks among us.
