The story is always appropriate. *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015* The writer did a good job with the main characters- I adored the protagonist Peter, his crush, David and his older brother Vince. Vince is too cool in all the right ways, but as the older brother of Peter, he is also a jerk, that just makes him real. Mom and Dad were two dimensional as were Peter’s frenemies. The muddles and events that drove Peter in the book were well described, along with his angst – he has lots of angst and internal dialogs.The book is extremely well written. There is not a lot of extraneous material, which means that as the reader you can focus on the story and zoom through the book. I wouldn’t call it a page turner in the sense of a whodoneit, but it certainly commands your attention and moves you right along. It’s broken into small chapters, many of which are around five pages – so it’s easy to find a stopping point if you are reading it while doing other things (like traveling).My criticism of the book is that it’s appropriate, 100% appropriate all the time. The ending was appropriate and suitable, but it wasn’t romantic or exciting. Appropriate is good, it’s safe and it’s too vanilla, in my opinion. Your mileage may vary.Triggers: basically none, the book is appropriate for most. Lots of colorful language, for those that care about such things. Several questions by adults to Peter inquiring if he were suicidal – but as readers we can see from his point of view that he never was. He is just confused about certain things. Is unrequited love a trigger? Zero sex, some muted innuendo. The book is safe and appropriate.I recommend it because it is fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I hope Kate Walker will keep herself busy writing more! *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2003* Although I am a frequent Amazon.com shopper, I actually bought this book from a vendor at the Anchorage PrideFest gay pride festival. I was absolutely riveted by the book and finished it in one day. The book tells the story of Peter Dawson, who is in the early stages of coming out. Peter just wants what most young men his age want, to fit in with his friends and ride his motorcycle. Young and naive, he is quick to dismiss some people prematurely, including his brother Vince, some of whom turn out to be ok. (He is right about others) Peter's life becomes more complicated when he meets David, a gay friend of his straight brother - a unique twist for a book - and has his stereotypes of gays shattered. At the same time he comes to realize that his own assumptions about "who he is supposed to be," while right for many of his friends and his brother, isn't his reality. When Peter finally acknowledges his own destiny, it is David who ultimately comes through for him, but not in the overly sexual, "Cinderella" fashion that many other books take. The story was moving and is not only a must read, but also a must have for any P-FLAG or GLSEN library. Hopefully Kate Walker will keep herself busy writing many more books. It once again proves, as with Patricia Nell Warren, that many of the best books about gay men are written by women.

I loved it. Peter is a young man figuring out his sexual orientation. In the book Peter falls for his brothers friend. Peter goes through the teasing and taunting of being gay or Poof.The author shows amazing incite of the emotions and worries that one has when coming to terms with being gay and how it affects the life of his or her own and the lives of others. I rate this book as a five because when I was coming to terms with liking boys at the age of 11 I had many of the same worries and concerns. It shares so much that young men can relate to when figuring out what they like.I recommend this book be in the schools of all nations. It not only helps children know that its okay to be gay but that it also helps open the mind of readers to the unknown. Teaching acceptance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/8678015-peter-paperback-april-30-2001](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/8678015-peter-paperback-april-30-2001) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
