TJ Klune, the beloved author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, returns with this enchanting reimagining of Pinocchio—a story about found family, acceptance, and what it truly means to be human. In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful blend of heart, humor, and adventure that will leave you questioning the strings attached to love itself.
Deep in a peculiar forest, Victor Lawson lives with his unconventional family: Giovanni, his android father; a delightfully sadistic nurse machine; and a small vacuum cleaner desperately seeking affection. Their hidden sanctuary is perfect—until Vic repairs a mysterious android named HAP, uncovering a dark secret that connects Hap to Gio’s violent past hunting humans.
When Gio is captured and dragged back to the City of Electric Dreams, this assembled family must embark on an otherworldly quest across a transformed landscape. Along the way, Vic grapples with feelings of betrayal and unexpected affection for Hap, ultimately facing an impossible question: Can he accept love with conditions?
