Written by Dave Roman. Illustrated by John Green.
Teen Boat! is the story of a boy with the power to transform into a small yacht, combining the angst of being a teen with the thrill of being a boat!
To get the attention of the popular girl, Niña Pinta Santa Maria, high school student Teen Boat (yes, that’s his name) forsakes the advice of his best friend and lets the school bully throw a boat party on him in international waters. But when an encounter with pirates leads to detention, TB, as his friends call him, questions if his powers of buoyancy are a blessing or a curse. All the challenges of being a teenager are given a nautical twist, such as classroom politics, afterschool jobs, getting a driver’s license, and breaking out – only in barnacles instead of pimples. Being a teen and being a boat means dealing with a lot of pier pressure!
