Nate Peckers
The Boy Who Chose Everything but Himself A Satirical, Heartfelt Novel About Identity, Image, and the Cost of Curated Perfection
(Author) Udesme PublishingWhat if you could control how the world saw you? Every trait. Every reaction. Every post-perfect detail. Fourteen-year-old Nate Peckers is tired of feeling invisible. So when a mysterious app called uPicks appears on his phone, promising to let him choose who he wants to be, Nate taps yes. Funny? Confident? Popular? With every pick, life gets louder. But as Nate climbs the social ladder, he starts losing touch with the one version that matters most: his own. When uPicks begins rewriting more than just perception, Nate must decide-how far will he go to be seen? Sharp, magical, and emotionally honest, Nate Peckers: The Boy Who Chose Everything but Himself is a coming-of-age novel for anyone who's ever felt pressure to perform instead of just be. A timely tale about friendship, self-worth, and finally saying: "I choose me." and finally saying "This is me today."
