The Wave (and what came after) by Holly Arsenault When failing YouTuber, Penguin, and their sardonic sidekick, Bob, decide to turn their channel into an eco-anarchist-prank show, they just think it will be an easy way to get the attention of the masses (and earn the approval of Penguin's real estate mogul mother). But when they find themselves as the unlikely faces of a real eco-anarchist collective, they learn that what they do can actually – maybe?? - make a difference, that hope holds best in community, and that love (not likes) is the most powerful catalyst for action we've got.
