IN THE LIVES OF PUPPETS

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

—Library Journal, starred review

“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.”
