TJ Klune with Kira Apple
Thursday, April 11, 2024 (Sanctuary) - TJ Klune with Kira Apple - In the Lives of Puppets
TJ Klune joins us in Decatur to celebrate the paperback release of his enchanting In the Lives of Puppets. It is a compassionate tale of the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts. In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots. 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.
