Towards the middle of the tour, Leo finds out some terrible news. King Maggot is not his father, but Bernie is. Leo takes the news terribly and tries to run away, he quits the tour but ends up spending time with Melinda, who is at the concerts with Owen to see them. After a while on tour with Melinda, and even after The King confronts him and leo rejoins the band, the band breaks up because the members of Purge are getting tired of the band, along with a few other issues. Leo goes back home, this without telling The King that he is truly not his father. After being at home, for a while, King Maggot comes to Leo's town and ends up paying his tuition for college, knowing he is not his father. This was a great book, and i could barely put it down at some points. On the surface it seems like a book about just a boy trying to fing away to get into college, but it is truly about the steps people take when they truly care about someone.
