Random House Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books, has acquired the U.S. rights debut book by YouTube stars Dan Howell and Phil Lester. The social media icons have more than 8 million subscribers across their channels.
The Amazing Book is Not on Fire will bring Dan and Phil’s Internet world to the page. “We are Dan and Phil and we invite you on a journey inside our minds,” they explain in a note to readers published on their site. “From the stories of our actual births, to exploring Phil’s teenage diary and all the reasons why Dan’s a fail.”
The book will teach readers how to draw the perfect cat whiskers and shares advice on what to do in awkward situations and will also share their texts to each other.
Ebury Press (Penguin Random House UK) is publishing the U.K. edition of the book. The title is due out from both published houses in October. The two authors will go on a book tour in the U.K. month of October.
