Bookroo's summary

Peter revels in his rudeness, dismissing the importance of manners. But when his family starts mimicking his bad behavior, Peter's world turns upside down. Can he handle a taste of his own medicine, or will he learn that manners might matter after all? Discover the surprising transformation that challenges Peter's perspective and reshapes his understanding of respect.
