In the Lives of Puppets

Product Information

One day a distraught couple appear, the woman clutches a bundle of rags which proves to be a swaddled child.

The hatch on her lower right side slid up, and one of her tentacle-like arms extended, patting the top of Rambo’s casing. I loved this book- Gio, Vic, Nurse Natched, Rambo, and Hap; such a colorful cast of characters that were easy to fall in love with even though only one was human! Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached. 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. TJ Klune has created an enchanting tale of Pinocchio in the end times , offering up hard truths alongside humor, kindness, love and, most important, hope.At times it is very funny, the source of it is usually the androids and there is some excellent banter.

He’d found the little thing years before, repairing it himself with metal and care until the machine had come back to life, demanding to be allowed to clean—it needed to clean because if it didn’t, it had no purpose, it had nothing.

A tiny vacuum robot screamed as it spun in concentric circles, spindly arms that ended in pincers waving wildly in the air. Inspired by Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio , and like Swiss Family Robinson meets Wall-E , In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful stand-alone fantasy adventure from the beloved author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door. Two metal hatches on either side of her base opened to reveal a dozen metal tentacles ending in various medical tools should the need to operate arise. The day Vic salvages and repairs an android labelled "HAP," he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio-a past spent hunting humans.
