Présentation de l'éditeur :
In this science fiction retelling of Pinocchio, sixteen-year old Penelope agrees to be transformed into a living, mechanical marionette, enhanced with superhuman abilities. As Penelope and her scientist "creator" parade throughout the country, she's soon deemed a threat and monitored for the nation's safety. In one last attempt to secure her freedom by making her appear harmless, Penelope's creator takes something away from her - the ability to lie. But as Penelope faces obstacles bigger than herself, battles a governmental uprising, and meets the first person who's ever truly made her feel loved, she's afraid she might lose it all. Because in a world where nothing is true and guarding her heart is her only chance at life, how can she survive without telling a lie?
