Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia
3.0

This was cute! I'm not very familiar with the Beast Boy character but I think in general these DC Ink books serve as good kind of AU-oneshot introductions to characters. It's a fun, questionable-sciencey kind of story with a focus on doing pranks for Internet fame that I think a lot of tweens & teens will enjoy. The narrative of "geeky boy hopelessly in love with hot mean-ish girl for no apparent reason" is a little tiresome but at least this book seems very aware that he's interested more in the social status than the girl herself, which is...something, at least. I mean, I buy it.

Also I stan a vegetarian superhero always!!!!!
