Goodreads asked Brian Rosten:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Brian Rosten "Pete vs the City of Chicago" started out as a flash fiction based on a real experience I had getting bullied as a teenager. When I finished, I realized it needed to be fleshed out. Thus, Pete Martinen was born.
