In the Lives of Puppets: TJ Klune in conversation with Kira Apple | First Baptist Church of Decatur

Details

Join Charis and the Georgia Center for the Book as they welcome bestselling author TJ Klune and Kira Apple for a captivating conversation about the paperback release of "In the Lives of Puppets." This special event will take place in person at the beautiful Sanctuary of the First Baptist Church of Decatur. "In the Lives of Puppets" takes readers on an extraordinary journey into the heart of a peculiar forest, where a unique family resides. This family consists of three robots – the fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum longing for love. Victor Lawson, a human, is also a part of this hidden and safe family. When Vic discovers and repairs an unfamiliar android named "HAP," he uncovers a dark past shared between Hap and Gio – a past filled with the hunting of humans. Unfortunately, Hap unintentionally alerts robots from Gio's previous life to their location, putting the family in danger. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory, leaving the rest of Vic's assembled family with no choice but to embark on an otherworldly and unforgiving journey to rescue Gio before he faces decommission or worse, reprogramming. Inspired by Carlo Collodi's "The Adventures of Pinocchio," "In the Lives of Puppets" is a spellbinding standalone fantasy adventure that combines elements of Swiss Family Robinson and Wall-E. TJ Klune, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, expertly weaves a tale that will captivate readers from start to finish.
