Author Kami Garcia and artist Gabriel Picolo, the creative duo behind the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller Teen Titans: Raven, take you on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, while reminding us the value of true friendship-especially when life gets wild.
Garfield Logan has spent his entire life being overlooked. Even in a small town like Eden, Georgia, the 17-year-old with green streaks in his hair can’t find a way to stand out-and the clock is ticking. Senior year is almost over. If Gar doesn’t find a way to impress the social elite at Bull Creek High School, he will never know what it’s like t more
This is truly a work that Garcia and Picolo can be proud of. They did the characters they love proud. The characters are well developed and are honest representations of teenagers today. The art is a perfect companion to the script. Garcia has said she's got ideas for all the Titans and I, for one, can't wait to see what this team does next. Read Full Review

I need one of these books for every single character ever. I could happily have a series dedicated to Beast Boy, or Raven" or both! YES, they heard me. We will get to see more of both of these amazing characters, written and drawn by these awesomely talented people, in Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven.I don't know about anyone else. but this has sent me over the edge. I'm now on the floor scratching at the carpet, to give my hands something to do while we wait for the next instalment to come out. Garfield's such a precious, good hearted character, and Kami and Gabriel really bring that out in him. Read Full Review
Ending too soon isn't exactly a fatal flaw for a book though, and Beast Boy delivers so much before its hasty end that the only disappointment is there aren't any more pages left. Fortunately, the third installment Beast Boy Loves Raven is already underway, and it will be a delight to see where Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo take Gar and Raven next when they finally meet up in the universe they've created.

Teen Titans: Beast Boy is full of delightful characters, a brilliant origin story, and elements that make everything relatable. Throw in fantastic artwork, and this is a memorable origin story for a fan favorite. Read Full Review
It takes a while for the main plot to get going, as the biggest threat in the first half of the book is a sneering high school bully and the tensest segment involves stealing a giant snake from a nearby college. With a strong animal-rights message, it's a good setup for Gar's future as a superhero animal-lover. Read Full Review
So, overall, I would say this was a decent book if not a great one. An authentic voice, some nice world building, and a good version of Gar well suited for the YA readership, it just lacked a little substance in parts. Read Full Review
