Adam likes nothing more than making his mum and little brother laugh, something that’s even more important since his dad died.
He’d love to make the rest of the world laugh too and when he accidentally goes viral on YouTube, it seems his dream will come true, especially with the help provided by Popularis Incrementum, a mysterious, possibly magical pop up on his phone.
Adam’s adventures as he goes all out to hit one million subscribers are achingly funny for readers and of course his growing band of subscribers, but it’s only when everything suddenly seems to be on the brink of disaster that he realises Popularis Incrementum had set him a different challenge altogether, one much closer to home.
Author Adam B knows all about internet fame, but a great deal too about adolescent boys, families, and how to engage and entertain readers. Put down the phone and pick up this book for laughs (and just maybe a few tears too).
The spectacular debut children's book from TV presenter and YouTube star Adam B! Everybody dreams of becoming a superstar YouTube sensation, but for Adam - a penniless, cameraless nobody, with only one friend - it isn't just a dream, it's a complete and utter, Never-Going-To-Happen-In-A-Million-Years, Absolute Impossibility!
That is until he stumbles across the mysterious Popularis Incrementum website. As if by magic, Adam is thrown into a world of fame, fortune and hotels with really, really, really fancy TVs! But Adam's luck may be running out. When he accepts a mission to reach one million subscribers in one year, it becomes clear that he has bitten off way more than he can chew, and his life becomes one epic fail after another. Fortunately for Adam, he still has a trick or two up his sleeve.
Featuring bold black-and-white illustrations from James Lancett throughout, this brilliant, bright hardback will make the perfect Christmas gift for budding young YouTubers everywhere!
Fans of David Baddiel, Greg James and Chris Smith and Noel Fitzpatrick's Vetman will be spellbound.
Adam B is a household name. Not only hugely popular online, with his videos boasting over half a billion views overall, Adam is also an experienced live television host known for being the 40th presenter on the world's longest running kids TV programme, Blue Peter.
Adam is ecstatic to bring his first book, Adam Wins the Internet, to life! Adam hopes to encourage readers with a story about something that every young person aspires to achieve - winning the internet! Who wouldn't?!
'This is crazy. Unbelievable. Madness. In EVERY sense!
Writing stories has been a big hobby of mine for a long time now, so to be able to say that I have a children’s novel coming out this year is mind bendingly exciting to me. And to have been acquired by Bloomsbury is a literal dream come true. The team there believe in the message of the book just as much as I do. I cannot wait for people to get their hands on it and see what they think. I've loved writing it. I've loved seeing my mum cry after she finished reading it (it was happy tears not sad tears... promise).
And I now I love being able to say that Adam Wins the Internet is coming out in October THIS YEAR!’
