Peter by Kate Walker

() What do you associate bikers (motorcyclists) with? Big tough, masculine guys with leather and chains? Think again. This book makes you re-think the stereotypes of certain ideals, as well as question sexuality associations with hobbies and interests.
Yes, many stereotypes stem from truth, but how many are continually proved incorrect day after day? As the main character of the story shows, Peter, you do not have to be the ideal generalization of your interest to be good at what you do and enjoy it. Peter goes through a struggle of self-identification and sexuality association. Even at the end, he seems somewhat still in distress about how to identify himself, but he grows and learns a lot; including that he doesn't have to have all the answers.
