Witty, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is a gift for
troubled times. TJ Klune brings us a warm hug of a story about a
man who spent his life at the office - and his afterlife building a
home. From the author of joyous New York Times bestseller The House
in the Cerulean Sea. Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot,
the scones are fresh and the dead are just passing through. When a
reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own sparsely-attended
funeral, Wallace is outraged. But he begins to suspect she's right,
and he is in fact dead. Then when Hugo, owner of a most peculiar
tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace reluctantly
accepts the truth. Yet even in death, he refuses to abandon his
life - even though Wallace spent all of it working, correcting
colleagues and hectoring employees. He'd had no time for
frivolities like fun and friends. But as Wallace drinks tea with
Hugo and talks to his customers, he wonders if he was missing
something. The feeling grows as he shares jokes with the resident
ghost, manifests embarrassing footwear and notices the stars. So
when he's given one week to pass through the door to the other
side, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in just seven days. Fans
of A Man Called Ove and The Good Place will fall for this queer
love story by TJ Klune. Praise for TJ Klune: 'I loved it. It is

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.

From the bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea and
Under the Whispering Door, Wolfsong is a story of love, loyalty,
and family. Ox Matheson was twelve when his father taught him a
lesson: Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never
understand him. Then he left. Ox was sixteen when the energetic
Bennett family moved in next door, harbouring a secret that would
change him forever. For the family are shape-shifters, who can
transform into wolves at will. Drawn to their magic, loyalty and
enduring friendships, Ox feels a gulf between this extraordinary
new world and the quiet life he’s known. He also finds an ally in
Joe, the youngest Bennett boy. Joe is charming and handsome, but
haunted by scars he cannot heal. Ox was twenty-three when murder
came to town, and tore a hole in his heart. Violence flared,
tragedy split the pack and Joe left town, leaving Ox behind. Three
years later, the boy is back. Except now he’s a man – and Ox
can no longer ignore the song that howls between them. Wolfsong is
the first book in the Green Creek series by bestselling author TJ
Klune. Continue the journey with Ravensong. Praise for TJ Klune:

Gordo Livingstone never forgot the lessons carved into his skin.
Hardened by the betrayal of a pack who left him behind, he sought
solace in the garage in his tiny mountain town, vowing never again
to involve himself in the affairs of wolves. It should have been
enough. And it was, until the wolves came back, and with them, Mark
Bennett. In the end, they faced the beast together as a pack . . .
and won. Now, a year later, Gordo has found himself once again the
witch of the Bennett pack. Green Creek has settled after the death
of Richard Collins, and Gordo constantly struggles to ignore Mark
and the song that howls between them. But time is running out.
Something is coming. And this time, it’s crawling from within.
Some bonds, no matter how strong, were made to be broken. Set in
the dreamy backwoods of Oregon, Ravensong is the second book in
bestselling author TJ Klune’s beloved Green Creek series.

the end of days. But the children aren't the only secret the island

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral,
Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Instead of leading him
directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village.
On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between
mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo
is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who
need to cross over. But Wallace isn’t ready to abandon the life
he barely lived. With Hugo’s help, he finally starts to learn
about all the things he missed in life. When the Manager, a curious
and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one
week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven
days. By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale
of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune's signature warmth, humor,
and extraordinary empathy.
The explosive finale to the Extraordinaries trilogy by New York
Times bestselling author TJ Klune. School's out for the summer and
a raging heat wave has blanketed Nova City. Still, Nick's life is
pretty much perfect, as he finally gets to team up with his
superhero boyfriend to bring justice, protection, and disaster
energy to the world. Meanwhile, Seth, Jazz, and Gibby are setting
up headquarters for Lighthouse, their hero team, Nick's dad's
private investigation agency is taking off, and Nick's mother, the
superhero known as TK, is right there at Nick's side. Where she's
always been. Hasn't she? But something's off. It's not just Simon
Burke campaigning to 'cure' Extraordinaries. And it's not the
rumours of Nick's ex-boyfriend and villain-in-the-making's escape.
Something isn't right and Nick will need all his loved ones
together to uncover the truth - a truth that will reveal a traitor
in their midst and burn through their lives like a wild fire.
Praise for The Extraordinaries 'Half a love-letter to fandom, half
self-aware satire, and wholly lovable' Sophie Gonzales 'The most
down-to-earth book about superheroes I've ever read' Mason Deaver
'Klune plays with superhero genre tropes and fan-fiction clichés
with the skill of a true fan' Kirkus Reviews 'Is it possible to
fall in love with someone's imagination? If so, consider me fully
smitten' David Leviathan
