The adventures continue for the teenage boy who can transform into a small yacht. This time, he sails out on a journey to Boatlantis, where he discovers others like him, learns that his father (a submarine) is still alive, and falls in love with a teen iceberg. Tweens with a love of the preposterous will enjoy this funny, crisply illustrated graphic novel.

YA
Besides possessing the ability to transform into a small yacht, Teen Boat is a normal teen. The graphic novel collects his various misadventures such as wanting to be cool, trying to land a girlfriend, working his first job, and learning to drive--all complicated by his nautical superpower. Crisp art, corny jokes, and an absurd concept make for a whimsical read.

In this anime-style graphic novel, Hakata Soy arrives at an outer-space school dedicated to training young astronauts. Soy's arch-nemesis sends a robot to the school to destroy him and generally wreak havoc. Laking a cohesive narrative, with lots of perspective shifts and many loose ends, the volume leaves plenty of room for future books to develop and explain Hakata's story.
