Realizing humanity as a wooden puppet.

Wooden Bones could be a good read for those interested in a unique spin on the classic tale of Pinocchio. Readers will be drawn to the fast-paced adventure and the underlying message of self-acceptance and standing up for oneself. The book features a distinctive feature through the character Pino's transformation from puppet to boy and back again, questioning what it means to be human.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
