94: Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl

Unable to cope with his troubled home and school life a young boy retreats into his own daydreams where he creates a dystopic, CGI-inspired hellscape to torture his imaginary friends. Now Mr. Electricidad, the boy’s kind and caring teacher, must guide the boy back to reality before the lines between his dreams and the real world are blurred forever.   Today's episode brought to you by Hank Green’s new book, A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor, available July 7th. This is a sequel and conclusion to his first book, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, which is the story of a young woman thrown into fame during a global crisis of contagious dreams and mysterious robots. Library Journal's starred review said: “Throughout this adventurous, witty, and compelling novel, Green delivers sharp social commentary on the power of social media and both the benefits and horrendous consequences that follow when we give too much of ourselves to technology.” The book is out July 7th in physical, audio, and e-book wherever books are sold, or you can just go to www.hankgreen.com and that will get you where you need to go!
