Description: Thirteen-year-old Peter Paddington is overweight, the subject of his classmates' ridicule, and the victim of too many bad movie-of-the-week story lines. When Peter's nipples begin speaking to him one day and inform him of their diabolical plan to expose his secret desires, Peter finds himself cornered in a world that seems to have no tolerance for difference. His only solace is "The Bedtime Movies"-perfect world fantasies that lull him to sleep every night. But when the lines between Peter's fantasy life and his reality begin to blur, no one is safe from his imagination's machinations-especially Peter himself.
