Becoming real was only the start. Pinocchio got his wish, but finds there's more to being human than having the right kind of body. Inside, he still feels like that same wooden puppet.

In the wake of WWI, his struggle to fit into a human world leads to a deadly fight with a fascist officer and flight from the only home he's ever known.

From tramp steamers to stifling sweatshops, from love to bitter heartbreak, he can't outrun his puppet past. Returning home years later, he discovers his beloved papa, Geppetto, was spirited away in the middle of the night into a Germany newly in Hitler's grip.

On his perilous journey, he finds a motley crew of allies, love, and an unexpected enemy who knows a secret about Pinocchio's own magical origins that could help her enslave humanity.

Pinocchio's Guide to the End of the World is a tale of friendship, love, and, ultimately, what it means to be real.
