Penned by New York Times bestselling author T.J. Klune, In the Lives of Puppets was published in late April. The book follows a human named Victor, who lives a peaceful albeit sheltered life in companionship with three idiosyncratic robots. When Victor discovers an android, along with secrets of the past, the found family faces unprecedented chaos and embarks on a journey that explores love’s many nuances. This story serves as a charming, surprisingly human twist on the fairytale classic Pinocchio.
