In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune (SFF)
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. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, 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.
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.
Copies of the regular print edition will be available at the library's Circulation Desk one month ahead of the meeting. Ebook and eaudiobook copies can be found on the Libby app (and sometimes Hoopla!) Plan ahead - don't forget you can place & suspend your holds on Libby!
