{"product_id":"9781697459517","title":"Pinocchio is Punching You","description":"After he got his wish to become a real boy, Pinocchio wanted what every real boy wanted: To be trained by ninjas. \"In this funny sendup of the classic fairy tale, Pinocchio, having been made a boy, wants one more thing: to be made a ninja. Pinocchio hangs out at the mall, where a bully convinces him that ninja mastery can be had--at a price. The story sharply outlines the oddity of pre-pubescent boys' fixations (ninjas, zombies, petty theft and bra straps), and its playful blend of realism and fantasy is just right. The author has a sharp ear for dialogue and for the unusual highways and byways that adolescent conversations take. It's a clever idea executed ably; lots of laugh-out-loud moments and off-beat humor pepper this fun, inventive romp.\" - Publishers Weekly A modern day retelling of\/\"sequel\" to the timeless coming-of-age story. (Publishers Weekly reviewed this little guy as part of a semifinalist award in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest. A novella among proper novels, Pinocchio is Punching You snuck in there like a ninja.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eLex Wilson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eOctober 13, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e100 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e169745951X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781697459517\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49199855042865,"sku":"9781697459517","price":12.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781697459517__66489_867b7040-24e3-4811-bcb1-58c2cae93dfd.jpg?v=1716871409","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781697459517","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
