INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Now in paperback! April May and the Carls are back in the bestselling sequel to Hank Green's #1 New York Times bestselling debut novel, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing.

Who has the right to change the world forever? How will we live online? How do we find comfort in an increasingly isolated world?

The Carls disappeared the same way they appeared, in an instant. While the robots were on Earth, they caused confusion and destruction with only their presence. Part of their maelstrom was the sudden viral fame and untimely death of April May: a young woman who stumbled into Carl's path, giving them their name, becoming their advocate, and putting herself in the middle of an avalanche of conspiracy theories.

Months later, April's friends are trying to find their footing in a post-Carl world. Andy has picked up April's mantle of fame, speaking at conferences and online; Maya, ravaged by grief, begins to follow a string of mysteries that she is convinced will lead her to April; and Miranda is contemplating defying her friends' advice and pursuing a new scientific operation…one that might have repercussions beyond anyone's comprehension. Just as it is starting to seem like the gang may never learn the real story behind the events that changed their lives forever, a series of clues arrive-mysterious books that seem to predict the future and control the actions of their readers-all of which seems to suggest that April could be very much alive.

Zusammenfassung
HARDCOVER LAUNCH: The launch of A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor kicked off hitting #4 on the New York Times printed list, as well as hitting many other bestseller lists, an appearance on Good Morning America, and a virtual tour including a combination of ticketed, book-bundled events with special moderator guests-John Green, Ashley Ford, Roman Mars, Cory Doctorow-an Instagram live with B&N (one of B&N's 100 Books of Summer), and a rave in USA Today plus starred reviews from Library Journal and Booklist.

SOCIAL MEDIA POWERHOUSE: With millions of followers across multiple platforms, Hank's social media presence continues to be incredibly valuable to our publication efforts. His fans even launched their own "Where's Carl" website for his global readership to check-in and share their own Carls.

TIMELY THEMES: Like An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, this book will deal with big themes of media exposure, celebrity, and self-identity, and it is clear on every page how personal the story is to its author.

THE GREEN BROTHERS: We couldn't be more excited to have both John and Hank Green at Penguin Random House, and their unstoppable brother act has been an incredible asset for our teams.
