In his much-anticipated debut novel, Hank Green - cocreator of Crash Course, Vlogbrothers and SciShow - spins a sweeping, cinematic tale about a young woman who becomes an overnight celebrity before realising she's part of something bigger, and stranger, than anyone could have possibly imagined.
The Carls just appeared. Coming home from work at three a.m., 23-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture. Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship - like a 10-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor - April and her friend Andy make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day April wakes up to a viral video and a new life.
News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world - everywhere from Beijing to Buenos Aires - and April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the centre of an intense international media spotlight. Now April has to deal with the pressure on her relationships, her identity, and her safety that this new position brings, all while being on the front lines of the quest to find out not just what the Carls are but what they want from us.
Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing grapples with big themes, including how the social Internet is changing fame, rhetoric and radicalisation; how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration spring from the same dehumanisation that follows a life in the public eye.

Geschichte
Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis. Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

Geschichte
It's fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn't spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the internet, the paparazzi, and the government - and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father's leaks are a hoax and wants nothing to do with him.

It is the summer of 2013, and Abigail Kamara has been left to her own devices. This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. While her cousin, apprentice wizard and police Constable Peter Grant, is off in the sticks chasing unicorns, Abigail is chasing her own mystery. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing, but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been.

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.

Phantastisch. Eine fesselnde Geschichte mit...
... einer wundervollen Botschaft für jung und alt. Hank Green schafft die Perspektive eines jungen Erwachsenen und die mit unserer Zeit verbundenen social-media Komponenten, über die weltweite politische Lagen in seiner Story darzustellen. Es fühlt sich sehr natürlich an, wie die Geschichte von April Mai erst völlig banal und fast alltäglich anfängt, und dann ein quantensprung ins SciFi Territorium zu schaffen.

Why an author should never read their own book!
I love this book! New, fresh and so full of life that made me cast a different eye on some of the attitudes of my own teenage daughter. It is surprisingly deep given the very flippant language and pushes on at a tremendous pace. The main characters are believable and well read by Kristen Sieh until Hank Green spoils it all! He so is NOT the character he is reading. We know Andy from April's side of the story and this 'imposter' sounds nothing like him. A pale, meekly, shy and insecure geeky lovable guy all in a sudden becomes this cliché US boy-shool voice, self-assured, tanned well trained good looking body with a bit of an attitude. Shame really.
But hey, I adore the character of April May and the voice she was given by Kristen Sieh.

Ein Roman mit Gedanken und tiefen Einblicken in plötzlichen Ruhm, was es für die eigene Persönlichkeit und den Freundeskreis bedeutet, eine Internetpersönlichkeit zu werden bzw. sein, und seltsame Außerirdische als Aufhänger. Aber wirklich bloß als Aufhänger, der Kern von Greens Buch scheint April Mays Umgang mit und Verlangen nach (sowie Validierung durch) Ruhm zu sein.
