Teen Titans Go! to Camp

It's a gift

Prose (The Story): After the uber-competitive Robin caused a landslide of molten marshmallow - during a hideous giant s'mores fiasco - effectively shutting down their last summer camp, this year the Teen Titans find themselves spending an even slightly more ... challenging six weeks at Camp Apokolips, which rather resembles Purgatory on a bad day, complete with fire pits and parademons and the presence of activity director Granny Goodness, a white-haired, chubby old lady whose evil eye is on auto-pilot along with her temper. Further to frustrate are the opposing bunks; the Titans must go up against the Titans East and the H.I.V.E. Five to compete in some very dangerous camp games - Robin, blindly and bullheaded-ly leading the way in his personal and selfish quest for the Camper of the Year title, no matter what - or who - he has to crush to get it.Don's (Thoughts): I love the Teen Titans, and this graphic novel depicts the gang's usual determination to win (or at least stay alive), no matter what insanity Robin leads them into with his big head and ego. The book has a few laugh-out-loud moments (Cyborg's band camp obsession won my heart) and is filled with the snarky humor you'd expect from the series; if I had any complaints, it would be that here the rest of the Titans seem to take a backseat to Robin's shenanigans throughout. One nice touch: each chapter ends with one of the team member's letters they've sent back home, talking about (and often playing up) the "great" time they are having at the horrible camp. Granny Goodness is very funny (even if she did bring back memories of an old grade-school teacher I'd rather have forgotten), and the ending is way cool ... right up to the last letter home depicted in the book, my personal favorite. Could have used a little more punch, but a solid and funny addition to the Teen Titans lexicon! 3.5/5 stars

Teen Titans Go! to Camp by Sholly FischTeen Titans Go! to Campby Sholly Fisch, Marcelo Dichiara (Illustrator)5836046Kailey (BooksforMKs)'s reviewAug 25, 2020 · editliked itbookshelves: graphic-novels-and-mangaThe Teen Titans have been banned from superhero summer camp, so this year for camp they are going to Camp Apokolips. The evil Granny Goodness is looking for recruits and is trying to undermine the heroes' friendships by getting them to compete against each other. No one is more competitive than Robin, and his enthusiasm sometimes overwhelms his better judgement, causing problems for the team.I liked the comedy in this comic! Robin is always getting up to crazy highjinks and ruining everyone's camp experience with his insane determination to win the "Best Camper" award. He is always trying to prove that he is the fastest, smartest, biggest hero in the entire camp, and that is the perfect backdrop for some truly hilarious failures.The campers have to endure the disgusting food, the crazy counselors, and the ultimate obstacle-course race where the winner is the one who lives through it. But somehow they learn to rely on each other and trust their instincts, and their friendships become stronger than ever.I like the pacing of the book, and there is plenty of action and silliness to keep your interest. There is some good character development, especially for Robin. The plot does a good job of balancing a lot of different characters, but we get to see little slices of scenes and dialogue from each of them. They are all memorable and fun!The best part of this book is the "letters from camp" as each of the characters write home about their camp experience, and each "letter" is illustrated by a different artist in a different comic style. It's so interesting to see all these art styles in the same book, and it feels like the different voices of each character is reflected in the art. Whether they are a silly or serious character heavily influences the writing style and the artwork. It's brilliant, and gives a whole new depth to the story!Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review.

I enjoy the Teen Titans Go TV show so I was excited to see how their antics translated to a graphic novel and I was thrilled with this book. The graphic novel captures the charm and humor of the cartoon and all the titans. I also really enjoyed the addition of the characters’ letters home from camp. Each letter was written by a different character and was accompanied by a different artists’ work. The different art styles were both a captivating visual element and also helped further highlight how the different characters’ view themselves and the world around them. I also loved how this element expanded a bit more about what we know about the characters.The art throughout the book is all well done and I really enjoyed the setting of their camp. The summer camp setting makes it perfect for a summer book. The plotline was amusing and very reminiscent of the cartoon so I think it will certainly satisfy fans. Overall it’s a really fun book.

My 9 and 11 year olds loved Teen Titans Go! to Camp. They both sat down to read and didn't get back up until they were done. The book is funny. The artwork is bright and fun and felt like they were in the show. Middle grade readers who enjoy graphic novels and fun adventures will gobble this up.

A fun and quirky camp adventure! I thought the changing art styles to go with each characters letter home was super fun and cute! Definitely a fin read for kids and fans of Teen Titans Go!
