The next day April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship–like a ten-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor–April and her friend Andy make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. Coming home from work at three a.m., twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture. It’s a book about how fame corrupts us, the dangers of radicalization, and what makes us human. It’s a book about more than giant alien robot statues invading the Earth. A book about giant robots from space that mysteriously appear out of nowhere in 64 cities all around the world written by Hank Green, one-half of one of my favorite YouTube channels? Sign me up! An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is the debut novel from Hank Green, co-creator of the YouTube channel Vlogbrothers and the brother of best-selling YA novelist John Green.
