"We don’t just have Harry Potter, we also have Peggy Sue." Sébastien Brüzzo, a prolific French science fiction author, created a series that is relatively more realistic, terrifying, and thus even more captivating and chilling three years after Harry Potter. Peggy Sue: Harry Potter’s sister, or perhaps a distant cousin? —LIREAVRIL magazine
This is an image closer to children's desires than Harry Potter. Peggy Sue is not a conventional fairy-tale character. She doesn’t grow up in a wealthy family or live in a castle; she’s like a younger sister around us, her social status reflecting reality—a surreal fantasy novel closely tied to contemporary life. —Carrefour magazine
This is just a fairy tale with magic and philosophy, yet it’s funny, dreamlike, and chilling. With concise and lively prose, the author opens the curtain, creating a whimsical and fantastical world for readers. In an instant, all the impossible, fun, and imaginative stories unfold, and a host of witty, humorous, and magical characters grin at you, inviting you to visit! —LuMont magazine
The planet Kendatta suffered a terrible disaster. A monstrous beast, long slumbering underground for a thousand years, awoke. With countless tentacles, it frantically sought cracks in the earth, snatching children sleeping in their rooms. Fear gripped the entire city. Children no longer dared to sleep, and adults grew frantic. As time passed, the beast grew stronger. Wherever it passed, asphalt roads cracked, cities collapsed one after another. If the beast grew wings, the entire planet would shatter into fragments, and it would soar into the cosmic edge as the Winged Dragon of the Outer Limits. Peggy Sue resolved to confront the beast. The problem is, the beast possesses immense magic. It can release magical miasma from the cracks in the earth. Once inhaled, strange thoughts take over your mind, and you’ll act foolishly under hallucination. Worse yet, the beast has its minions—a group of fanatical wizards who guard it like idols. They conspire in dark corners and have formed a powerful gang. Can Peggy Sue save Kendatta from peril?
