Her fame grows as the mystery surrounding the Carls grows larger and larger. April is now considered something of an expert on the Carls and soon finds herself famous by speaking up about them across various forms of media such as twitter and youtube. April’s video has gone viral, because it is one of the first public recordings of the Carls. The next day, April wakes up to shocking news numerous Carl statues have appeared all over the world, leaving everyone to wonder where they have come from. She urges the viewer to not walk past remarkable art like Carl but to stand still and take in its beauty. In her video she interviews the statue and gives it the quirky name ‘Carl’. Together they make a video about it and post it on YouTube. April, thinking it is the most beautiful piece of art she has ever seen, calls her friend and tells him to bring his camera. She discovers a mysterious, gigantic robotic statue late at night on her commute home. Green’s page-turner centres around a young woman, April May, who lives in New York City.

I found out about An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green from watching his channel ‘The Vlogbrothers’ on YouTube, made up of him and his brother, John Green.
