If you think being a teenager is hard, try being a teenager who is half human and half boat. That's right, Teen Boat, or TB, is half boat and can transform from a teenage boy into a yacht. As he puts it, "I've survived choppy waves, white squalls, and even a pirate hijacking! But none of those things compare to the tempest that is high school." He has always felt like an outsider due to his unique ability, but when he hears about the Orca's Cup boat race, he is sure this is the chance to make ev...
I won this in a First Reads Giveaway and gave to my eight-year-old son to read. He absolutely loved it, he said the story was action-packed and loved that Teen Boat turned into an actual boat, he thought that was cool and unique.
These books just crack me up. Such a silly concept, but so much fun!
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 th...
Prepare for old timey words!This book was a hoot to read! Think Knight Rider if Michael Knight actually turned into KITT and was 17 years old. It was an advance copy, so the book was in B&W, but it did not detract at all. To Misters Roman and Green I say "Thank You"! Read It!
This one moves away from the high school premise and focuses much more on the 'boat' than the 'teen' aspect. It's actually sort of neat how there's a duality when you read both books together, one mostly teen and the other mostly boat. As a result it wasn't quite as funny as the first one, but there was a lot more plot. A very satisfying conclusion to the series. The title pages for each chapter never failed to get a big smile from me.
I loved this book because of all the witty word play and puns--and the shot of Lunch Lady at the school. Teen Boat is just pure fun.
~Disclaimer: I received this book for free in a giveaway~A truly bizarre premise of a teenager who can transform into a boat. We meet his friends and find that as a result of being a boat he is taunted at school. He is given an opportunity to participate in a race with a grand prize. And can't really say more without spoilers. All in all even with the completely bizarre plot it may really appeal to middle schoolers. The art isn't bad it has neat little chapter headings and while it very much sim...
I won this ARC in a goodreads drawing.An angst ridden teen can turn into a boat. He's got the usual cast of friends, only in this case, his love interest can turn into an iceberg. He's got to win a race against a rich kid who can turn into a yacht chair, to get into Boatopia.Pretty good stuff. I would prefer color, instead of black and white, though.
this is a sequel to Teen Boat! and it is just as dumb as the first BUT I LOVE IT
Pretty clever at times. Funny most of the time. Artwork is great all of the time.
Teen angst and uncertainty in a boy with an unusual powerThis is a very unusual book, even for a graphic novel. Teen Boat suffers from intense feelings of being a fish out of water as he walks the halls and classrooms of Dockside High. The reason is that he can transform into a small yacht, so he is literally a boat out of water. Many of the other students tease him for his differences, which is a bit odd, for being friends with Teen Boat could mean that you could spend a lot of time on him on t...
I read an ARC of this graphic novel. This is the second story about a boy who can turn into a boat, which is definitely unique, but I think what make these books successful is that the authors know their audience--which is demonstrated through the humorous dialogue and wordplay.
Really trippy series about a boy who can turn into a boat !
A boy who can turn into a boat - the premise is original, the dialog and feel of high school is spot on, the puns are awful and Teen Boat Rocks.
I received a digital copy of this title from the publisher via Netgalley.Ten Second Synopsis:TeenBoat - the teen with the power to transform into a boat when wet - takes part in a competition with the hope of finding the fabled city of Boatlantis. But being a boat and a teen isn't as glamorous as you might think - especially when a new kid at school threatens TeenBoat's claim to fame as the only boatkid on the block.This graphic novel really does have all the ANGST of being a teen, coupled with
I didn't think it was possible to top the first instalment of Teenboat, but it has been done. Teenboat 2 changed my life. it was one of the most spectacular stories I have ever know.
TEEN BOAT! THE RACE FOR BOATLANTIS is the sequel to the TEEN BOAT! graphic novel about an angst-ridden teen who has the ability to change into a boat. As part human, part boat, he struggles with his identity and finding a place in the world, all while navigating through the storm that is high school.Filled with silly boat puns and references to 80s movies and the 90s TV series DAWSON'S CREEK, THE RACE FOR BOATLANTIS has TB caught between choosing the world of humans or the world of boats (Boatla...
A quirky and well written story that my daughter and I both loved. "The ANGST of being a teen with all the THRILL of being a boat!"... what's not to love? And yes, it really is about a boy who can turn into a boat.
great fun for younger teens, looking for action and aventure.
