King Dork," the high school dramedy based on Frank Portman's young-adult novel.
Published in 2006, "Dork" centers on teenage misfit Tom Henderson, a student who is tormented by all sorts of cliques and seeks refuge in music. He also attempts to uncover the truth about his late father, who died under hazy circumstances while combing through some books.
