Rating on behalf of the ravings of middle school boys. They thought it was hilarious. I feel like my opinion doesn't matter in this instance. :)

The tagline of this graphic novel is quite catchy and is permanently ingrained on my brain: The angst of being a teen, the thrill of being a boat.And with that, you get an idea of the quirky humor and ridiculous yet intriguing premise: a teenager who has the ability to transform into a boat at will. Upon first reading, I'm sure I missed all the symbolism permeating the story because I was just so delighted by the quirk factor. I think I will have to encounter a second reading very soon because I...

I needed a book with a boat on the cover for a bingo I am participating in. This was the first thing that came up on Hoopla. It is about a teenage boy who can turn into a boat. Yes, you read that right, a boat. It is the strangest graphic novel I have ever read.

Teen Boat! is a book about a boy who can turn into a boat!Teen Boat is a book for science fiction readers and just people who wan't to laugh a little.Teen Boat is a boy who always wants to impress people by doing crazy things. The Author and Illustrator Dave Roman creates wonderful chapters with great cartoon drawings.I recommend this book to 6th graders and 7th graders!

If you're looking for a deep, tense, dangerous super-hero graphic novel, go read "Watchmen". If you're looking for somehting silly, pun-filled, quirky, and humorous, stay right here because "TeenBoat" is for you. TeenBoat must deal with all the usual teenage problems -- peer pressure ("pier pressure", actually, as that's the title of the first chapter, to give you an idea of the tone here), trying to impress a girl (or a gondola), getting a job, learning to drive a car, and more -- while also de...

Well done. I didn't love it, but I can see how kids totally would, so bonus star. I wouldn't have it in my 2-3 classroom library, but I totally would if I skewed older!

The story of Teenboat is marvelous. Truly a timeless tale that will carry through the ages. I await anxiously for the next in its series.

This is the best book I have ever read in my life. Great message and story. 10/10 would read reccomend to everyone ever.

teen boat like other girl, he want date her but other boy got her. then teen boat try diff way to got her.

Fun. Y'know, the illustration is pretty great. I'd give it a boost there. How someone illustrates ideas like this, that's miracles. I don't care what ICP says.The story is pretty one note. It's a funny note, so it works. But, you know. It made me think, though. Teen Boat(which is the kid's actual name)is unlike a lot of super-powered people in that he seems pretty pleased with his powers. Even though the power to turn into a boat doesn't SEEM all that useful or awesome.It made me think, how woul...

Collaborators Dave Roman and John Green originally published the TEEN BOAT! mini-comic through their own Cryptic Press. You can still visit the old websites associated with that version of the comic. TEEN BOAT! won an Ignatz Award and now it is available in a full color version with extra comics and other bonus material.The art of TEEN BOAT! is clean with easy-to-distinguish and consistent character designs. The girls aren't overly sexified either. They look like teen girls and their designs are...

When I first saw Teen Boat! By Dave Roman and John Green, I thought that it was written by John Green of YA lit fame (it isn’t), and I was sucked in by the slogan “The angst of being a teen; the thrill of being a boat!” It is a quirky and fun albeit unfocused and repetitive premise.The premise is that a boy strangely named Teen Boat, transforms into a small yacht but can continue to communicate while he is in boat form. How and why hes able to do this is never discussed. At some points of the b

Teen Boat is a collection of comics that follows a teen named Teen Boat, who is seemingly your average teen but who transforms into a boat. As you can imagine, this comic collection is filled with hilarious adventures where Teen Boat gets into trouble because of his unique abilities. One of the funniest escapades was where it chronicled Teen Boat getting his drivers license. Teen Boat is not comfortable in cars, so he has put off getting his license. However, he wants to impress a girl so he dec...

TEENBOAT is quirky and strange, but definitely makes those work for it. The premise involves a teen boy, named TeenBoat, who can transform into a boat. See? Strange. Aside from that, TeenBoat’s adventures all revolve around typical teenage things, thus the tagline: The angst of being a teen, the thrill of being a boat. The book is made up of a series of adventures that comprise one or two chapters each. The adventures begin with TeenBoat having some teenage angsty issue, such as wanting to be ac...

Funny all-ages graphic novel about a teen boy named--Teen Boat! He can transform into a small yacht ("I"m not a schooner!"), or involuntarily transform whenever water gets in his ear. He has typical teen problems, but they're boat-related (he breaks out in barnacles, not zits, haha!). Some of his classmates tease him, but everyone knows what he is. He has relationship issues: a crush on an exchange student (not a boat-person, but she is named "Nina Pinta Santamaria"! Snort!) ; his best friend ha...

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.My Summary: Being a teenager can be tough - there are so many things to worry about that making it through high school can feel like the ultimate achievement. But what if you had to go through all these things with the added burden of transforming into a boat? Readers will love the hilarity of Teen Boat as he struggles to get make it through some tough teen issues without getting shipwrec...

Navigate through this awesome book “TeenBoat”! This book is about a Teen called Teenboat who can turn into a boat. He is really special but the fact that he can turn into a boat doesn’t change that he is a teen. So, he passes through many adventures such as fighting with pirates, getting a job, going through school and the worst of all falling in love. The main places where the story occurs is in the sea and in school. He falls in love with a girl named Niña Pinta Santa Maria who doesn’t really

I picked this one up after listening to John Green speak at ALA 2013. I thought he was hilarious and decided I had to read the book. I'd seen it before and dismissed it. A boy who could turn himself into a boat just didn't seem to be my thing. Boy, was I wrong. I'm so glad I read it. It's a cute and funny story about the agony of being a teen and the thrill of being a boat. The duo of writers did a great job of making a fun and, oddly realistic, view of a teenage boy and his normal teen issues (...

This graphic novel doesn't seem like a novel at all, more like a series of episodes that are loosely related. Most frustrating to me is that it doesn't end so much as it just stops. No resolution at all, so perhaps it's a setup for a sequel.The idea behind Teen Boat, a teen that can turn into a boat at will, is kind of fun. I like the artwork. "Kind of a fun idea and I like the artwork", however, is about it. When I hover over the rating of two stars, it says "it was okay", so there ya go.SPEAKI...

I met the authors at ALA and enjoyed their presentation and livereading immensely, enough to buy a copy of the book. It's hilarious, even going beyond the ridiculous tag line "The angst of being a teen...the thrill of being a boat!" With a tag like that, how could you go wrong? There are a lot of really clever plays on words and good jokes. At his presentation, John Green said there would be spoilers for those of us who could read Italian, but I have to say, the Italian only confirmed my theorie...
