Pino thought that all of his wishes had come true. Since he changed into a real boy, he has been content with the simple quiet life he leads with his father, Geppetto. But the boy who used to be a wooden puppet doesn't quite fit in with the other villagers. When Pino discovers a terrifying new talent for bringing wood to life, he and Geppetto find themselves fleeing from an angry mob. On the run with a wounded Geppetto, Pino must face a world full of people who want to use--or misuse--him for his powers. But when Pino discovers that every time he uses his magic, he is slowly transforming into a puppet, he to make the most important choice of his life.
