What this book is about
When April May encounters a giant robot sculpture in New York City at 3am and posts a video of her talking to it online, she becomes famous before she knows what's happened — because the same statue appeared overnight in 64 cities around the world. Hank Green's sharp, funny debut is about internet culture, accidental celebrity, the anxiety of being the face of something larger than yourself, and what it means to make choices when millions of people are watching.
