Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer 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.

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. Have you read anything by this author? Which book is your favourite? Book Synopsis:įrom 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. I knew I had read more of his book so when I saw this special edition of his newest book I knew I had to get it! As I might have mentioned a few times I love books with beautiful sprayed edges and I think these spredges are stunning!

I’ve only recently discovered this author but absolutely loved Under The Whispering Door when I read it. Good morning everyone I treated myself to this beautiful book a few weeks ago but haven’t managed to share it yet.
