What happens when a family of misfit robots and one human boy must journey across a strange, unforgiving world to save the android they love? TJ Klune, the beloved author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, delivers a heartwarming science fiction adventure inspired by The Adventures of Pinocchio—with all the charm, humor, and emotional depth his readers have come to treasure.
In a peculiar treehouse home, Victor Lawson lives with his found family: Giovanni, his inventor-android father; a delightfully sadistic nurse machine; and a small, affection-starved vacuum. Their hidden sanctuary shatters when Vic repairs a mysterious android named HAP, uncovering a dark secret from Gio’s past—one that puts their entire family in danger.
When Gio is captured and taken to the City of Electric Dreams, Vic and his unlikely companions embark on an extraordinary rescue mission. Along the way, Vic must wrestle with questions of love, loyalty, and what it truly means to be human in a world where the lines between machine and person blur.
In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone adventure that blends the wonder of Swiss Family Robinson with the heart of Wall-E. It’s a story about found families, second chances, and accepting love—strings attached and all. Perfect for readers seeking contemporary fantasy with LGBTQ+ representation, humor, and characters you’ll never forget.
