From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of
Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you
deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary
journey of a family assembled from spare parts. In a strange little
home built into the branches of a grove of trees live three robots
– fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly
sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and
attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a
family, hidden and safe. The day Vic salvages and repairs an
unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’, he learns of a shared dark
past between Hap and Gio – a past spent hunting humans. When Hap
unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their
whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is
captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of
Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family
must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to
rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming. Along the
way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection
for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: can he accept love with
strings attached? Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of
Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone
fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the
Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
