I Prefer Peter - Paperback

by Mia Battaglia (Author)

Peter Pan gets a raw, hilariously unhinged, brutal reboot when a sharp-tongued, self-destructive runaway with a death wish stumbles into a peculiar town, learning that sometimes growing up means facing your demons -real and imagined-and that dreams are just nightmares sprinkled in dust. Grappling with the hurdles of mental health, drugs, and other real-life scenarios, I Prefer Peter is not your average fairytale retelling - it is the story this world needs.

Paragon is dying.

Since their King sacrificed his life, the Peculiar's have been waiting for a savior for centuries, but if he or she doesn't show up soon, the magic of Paragon, and everyone within it, will cease to exist.

So when a demoralized kid and his two new mates, fresh out of New Jersey's finest rehab...well, freshly escaped, anyway...show up to the town unannounced claiming to have no idea how they got there, there has to be a vital reason why...for only a Peculiar can enter Paragon, let alone even see it.

When "world-class f**kup" Benjamin Peter Green discovers his true potential, he denies it to the hilt. But, as epiphanies rise and responsibilities fall upon his back, he realizes it may be time to learn to deny himself, his past, and everything he thought he believed in, by saving a world he inherited before time itself, or die trying.

Hilariously witty, unhinged, and filled cover to cover with epic tales of modernity and twisted fantasy, I Prefer Peter tells the story of how a broken boy learns to fly and how he discovers through peculiar adventures that dreams are just nightmares sprinkled in dust.
