But relax - all you need to do is read it!It's a whole shipload of fun from the wild pen of Dave Hackett, a.k.a. Cartoon Dave, that will have you chuckling harder than a damaged Tickle Me Elmo.

A high-speed school musical, an internet scandal, an abusive meat-headed roommate and a pair of shoes that cause more trouble than they’re worth could this be Starrphyre Jones’ perfect summer? All Starrphyre wants is one date with his dream girl, Candace McAllister. Or at least a meaningful conversation. But how can he get her to notice him when she’s the leading lady of every other high-school guys’ fantasies? For sensitive-meets-dorky Starrphyre, starting a band seems like the natural solution, but when your bandmates have the combined musical ability of a gang of armless monkeys, you really need a backup plan. From the outrageously talented author and cartoonist Dave Hackett comes a laugh-aloud, heartfelt and vivacious novel.

An accidental band. A record store. A pair of shoes and two perfect girls. This is going to be one hell of a summer. Starrphyre is your average dorky 16 - year - old, although with one difference. He has a very weird girly name, thanks to his hippy parents - a live - to - air radio sex therapist mum and a bass player dad from a tragic one - hit - wonder 80s metal band. A long hot summer stretches ahead of Starrphyre and all he wants is one date with his dream girl, Candace McAllister. But how can he get her to notice him when she's the star of every other high - school guys' fantasies? Perhaps starting a band with his video - game obsessed pals will do the trick.
