{"product_id":"the-wooden-boy-dreamward-studios-9798279132584","title":"The Wooden Boy","description":"\u003cp\u003eA piece of wood was never meant to last. It was meant to burn, to warm a room for a single night, and disappear. Instead, it is carved into a puppet who moves, speaks, and runs before he understands the world around him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis story follows a wooden boy driven by curiosity and impulse. He acts first and reflects later, often too late. Promises are made easily. Warnings are ignored. Each choice leads him further into a world that is unpredictable, sometimes kind, often unforgiving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong his path, he encounters figures who guide, deceive, abandon, and forgive. Hunger, fear, and loss become part of his learning. Freedom proves more complex than he imagined, and independence carries a cost he does not immediately understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Dreamward Classics edition presents a carefully revised modern retelling of \u003ci\u003ePinocchio\u003c\/i\u003e, created for contemporary readers while respecting the structure, tone, and emotional weight of the original story. The language has been refined for clarity and flow, without smoothing the rough edges that give the tale its lasting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than offering a simple moral, the story unfolds through experience and consequence. Change is gradual. Growth is uncertain. Becoming real is not granted, but earned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is part of the \u003cb\u003eDreamward Classics Collection\u003c\/b\u003e, dedicated to bringing timeless stories to new readers through thoughtful, elegant modern editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dreamward Studios,James Carter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798279132584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Dreamward Studios","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171277381887,"sku":"9798279132584","price":10.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wooden-boy-dreamward-studios-9798279132584","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
