Description

“In the Lives of Puppets” 

TJ KLUNE is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, Under the Whispering Door, The Extraordinaries, and more. Being queer himself, Klune believes it’s important–now more than ever–to have accurate, positive, queer representation in stories.

Review Quotes:

“Readers who loved Klune’s previous works will find plenty of the author’s trademark charm, heart, and bittersweet.” —Library Journal, starred review

 

“A wholly charming post-robot-apocalypse retelling of Pinocchio. Speculative fiction readers will fall in love with this whimsical, bittersweet fable.” — Shelf Awareness, starred review

 

” In The Lives of Puppets is glorious, a thoroughly entertaining and deeply stirring journey through a world of extraordinary robots. The characters here are so vibrant, and the story proves that love stretches well beyond the world of humans.” –Chuck Tingle, Hugo Award finalist and author of Camp Damascus

 

” In the Lives of Puppets is a powerful story of humanity and what survives after we’re gone. Do the new inheritors of this earth forge a new path? Or are they destined to repeat the mistakes of their makers? 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.” –P. Djèlí Clark

 

“I dare say I am yet to read more humane robots than I’ve encountered in In the Lives of Puppets. This kind, caring, hopeful humanity that Klune weaves into his work tugs at the heartstrings. There are passages so affecting within, I had to pause. This was brilliantly offset by moments of levity. Literature at its very best opens up the potential of a better world than the one we’re currently in. Klune’s vision of a more considerate and compassionate society is immensely powerful. One can’t help but fall in love with this book.” –T.L. Huchu
