review:
In 'Teen Boat! The Race for Boatlantis' we learn that it's tough to be a teen. Especially one who can turn into a boat.

This is the second book in the series, but if you haven't read the first one, you'll pick up on things pretty fast. Teen Boat (and that is the name he uses) is a strange boy who has the ability to jump in the water and become a yacht. No one seems to have a problem with this, but he feels like the odd man out. When a rival shows up in town, named Teen Bot, who is a robot teen that can transform, Teen Boat jumps into a competition on the water. The prize could lead Teen Boat to the fabled city of Boatlantis (among other surprises). There are bad guys, wacky pirates, misunderstood friendships, and load of groaner puns. The only thing missing was the teenage acne.

I loved the art by John Green and the story by Dave Roman. It's ludicrously over the top, funny and touching all at the same time. If it sounds too silly for you, then you might be right. What really sells it to me is the bright art and the upbeat story. It was just fun all around.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Children's Book Group, Clarion Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun graphic novel.
