Read OnlineThe Fantastic Fable of Peter Able is a fantasy novel - with a twist. You see, Peter is a Boy Wizard. Or rather, Peter is an adult Boy Wizard who lives in the land of Fiction. His Real World author has abruptly concluded his series, and Peter is suddenly free to explore his world, liberated from the almighty Plotline. Of course the transition into free will isn't exactly an easy one, and there are plenty of Twists and Turns to keep our Protagonist guessing along the way. After all, this is Fiction.
In the vein of authors like Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett, this book will delight fans, not just of fantasy, but of literature in general. There are plenty of familiar faces from Fiction appearing throughout, as well as many new ones, like Peter, the charming Randy, and a ficus tree named Bob - who, let's be honest, doesn't really have a face.
This is the first book in the Peter Able series. Book Three - just released! **
Review
"Natalie Grigson takes us on a hilarious ride through the behind-the-page world of Fiction where heroes, villains, and unnamed side characters live out their lives free from an author's demands. Like a Toy Story for the book lover, the Peter Able series is a laugh-out-loud exploration of what happens when the reader isn't looking. With the humor of Douglas Adams combined with Sue Townsend, Grigson is a writer I look forward to reading for years to come. These books are a riot!" - Owen Egerton, author of Everyone Says That at the End of the World
