LIES OF A TOYMAKER by Kelly Ann Jacobson: Official Book Trailer

In this reimagining of the classic Pinocchio tale, a queer teen and wooden toymaker’s daughter discovers she is slowing turning into wood, forcing her to cross the demonic Land of Toys and stop the evil Deathsprites before they destroy her world. Award-winning author Kelly Jacobson (Tink and Wendy) delivers her latest fairytale retelling in LIES OF A TOYMAKER, a cross between the classic Pinocchio and a Stephen King novel like The Gunslinger, Paige (a queer eighteen-year-old girl) is a wooden toymaker’s daughter dragged from state to state as her mother, Petta Vitaly, hawks her creations from their caravan. When they finally return to Petta’s hometown, Paige discovers Toy Palace, her family’s animatronic toy business, but she keeps the discovery from her mother—only to find that she has begun to turn into a wooden marionette. Soon, Paige is in a desperate battle to protect the world from evil and find strength in her body's new form. LIES OF A TOYMAKER is a queer feminist YA retelling of the classic that reexamines what it means to “lie” for the benefit of others, and how the lines between truth and fiction are not always as clear as they seem. The book is told from several different perspectives, but follows Paige’s journey most centrally. Many classics from the original story make an appearance, such as the whale, the talking cricket, the fox and the cat, and the Fairy with Azure Hair.
