Geeky, music-obsessed high school student "Chi-Mo" would certainly agree...until he discovers his dad's old copy and its coded message and mysterious insert. Now he's on a quest to discover the secrets of a parent he never knew...and maybe uncover some others in the process.

Grab this one if you're a music fan looking for a funny, cynical alternate take on the Catcher-mania that still seizes people, or if you just want a quick crash-course in crucial as well as imaginary rock bands. A helpful glossary is provided, so don't sweat not knowing who the Velvet Underground were. Suffice to say, Chi-Mo gets the girl(s), "solves" the mystery, disses Holden Caulfield and rocks out along the way.
