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.
