From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune comes a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting readers into a peculiar forest and the extraordinary journey of a family made from spare parts. This paperback edition includes the poignant short story 'Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!' set in the same world. In a small home nestled in the branches of a tree, a human named Victor lives with three robots: a sadistic nurse machine, a love-seeking vacuum, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. They form a hidden, safe family. However, when Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labeled 'HAP', he discovers a dark connection between Hap and Gio, who share a past of hunting humans. Hap inadvertently reveals Gio's location, prompting robots from Gio's former life to arrive, intent on capturing him and returning him to the City of Electric Dreams. To rescue Gio from potential decommissioning or reprogramming, the unconventional family embarks on a perilous journey across an unforgiving land. Along the way, Vic grapples with his feelings for Hap, which come with complicated strings attached. This standalone fantasy adventure is inspired by Carlo Collodi's classic, showcasing a deeply stirring journey through a world of extraordinary robots.
