Synopsis
Forced to spend two weeks in Los Angeles with her punk rock dad, aka "the Rat," 14-year-old Katy is determined to lie low and read her way through the pain of her father's crazy life. Always the good girl, Katy is soon nicknamed "Beige" by Lake, a moody punk girl. But Katy slowly discovers that she might have other feelings lurking beneath the proper veneer that she's always thought was her true self. Cecil Castellucci is also the author of BOY PROOF and THE QUEEN OF COOL.

Katy, a quiet French Canadian teenager, reluctantly leaves Montrâeal to spend time with her estranged father, an aging Los Angeles punk rock legend. Dad's an aging L.A. punk rocker known as the Rat. Daughter's a buttoned-up neat freak who'd rather be anywhere else. Can this summer be saved? 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.

Publisher's Note
Forced to spend two weeks in L.A. with her recovering addict father who works as a drummer for a punk rock band, Katy has little intention of doing anything else but reading her books and keeping her distance, but when things don't go as planned, Katy quickly discovers she may be more like her father than she could have ever imagined.

Industry Reviews
"A cast of quirky characters keeps the book interesting, both for readers interested in the emotional drama and in the L.A. music scene, without getting into anything too gritty."
