Andromeda Klein (Delacorte Press) Skylight Books is partnering with the Los Feliz Library for this exciting event with the author of King Dork. His new young adult novel, Andromeda Klein, follows a quiet, bookish girl with an unexciting life--until her world takes a turn for the weird. Strangely and suddenly, Andromeda's tarot readings have begun to predict events with bizarrely literal accuracy. Frank Portman (aka Dr. Frank) is the singer/songwriter and guitarist for the influential East Bay punk band the Mr. T Experience (MTX). MTX has release about a dozen albums since forming in the mid-1980s, and continues to record and tour. Frank has written and recorded a theme song for this book that will be released upon publication and available for purchase on iTunes. Portman's first book, King Dork, was embraced by teens, adults, music lovers, Catcher in the Rye fans and haters, and the literary community. It has recently been licensed by Will Farrell's production company. Andromeda Klein is Frank's second novel for young readers. He lives in Oakland, California.
