Daughter’s a buttoned-up neat freak who’d rather be anywhere else. Can this summer be saved?<br><br>Now that she’s exiled from Canada to sunny Los Angeles, Katy figures she’ll bury her nose in a book and ignore the fact that she’s spending two weeks with her father — punk name: the Rat — a recovered addict and drummer for the famously infamous band Suck. Even though Katy doesn’t want to be there, even though she feels abandoned by her mom, even though the Rat’s place is a mess and he’s not like anything she’d call a father, Katy won’t make a fuss. After all, she is a nice girl, a girl who is quiet and polite, a girl who smiles, a girl who is, well, beige. Or is she? From the author of BOY PROOF and THE QUEEN OF COOL comes an edgy new L.A. novel full of humor, heart, and music. 304058 8 5 2007 Beige total:309|5:48|4:148|3:87|2:21|1:5| 309 1140 500 90 3 1 false false Sun Apr 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 07:36:47 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 07:43:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 06:09:29 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 06:36:42 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 00:55:01 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 00:55:01 -0700 2009
