Teen Titans Go! To the Library!

by Franco, Art Baltazar (Illustrator)

All Raven wanted was a little peace and quiet, and the local library seemed like the perfect place to find that. But her teammates know all her tricks, and when they catch up to her all heck breaks loose.

All Raven wanted was a little peace and quiet, and the local library seemed like the perfect place to find that. But her teammates know all her tricks, and when they catch up to her all heck breaks loose.

It’s not their fault: there’s a villain on the loose! And that villain has a dastardly plot! And it could only happen at the library! When the teens get scattered into the library books, first they have to figure out what happened, then they have to find each other, then they have to find the real Jump City.

It’s all in a day’s work for our heroes. Not their normal day’s work, which involves a lot of punching and posing. This is more like a reader’s day’s work! You know: the fun kind!

This was an okay addition to the various middle grade graphic novels that DC has been releasing for younger readers. As a fan of Teen Titans there were some elements that I really enjoyed and others that were rather lack luster. Honestly, if you have younger readers that are interested in getting to know DC characters, then I would recommend this series. The dual meaning of "being lost in a book" was done well and it was interesting watching the characters work together to figure out how to solve the mystery. The artwork for each "novel" was great and really drew me into the story. While I thought the stories cohesiveness fell apart a little towards the end, I can see some younger readers really enjoying this one.

Can't rate because I'm very much not the target audience, not being a fan of superheroes, nor having ever heard of Teen Titans before. But it seemed cute. And I do appreciate that they each entered different books, showing kids that libraries have more than just novels and graphic novels.

I am not a huge fan of Teen Titans, but my children like it, and with them going to the library, I thought I'd give it a chance. Beast Boy wants Raven to make him a pizza instead of doing any work or putting any effort into getting himself to get food. Robin realizes that she is at the library, so the whole team heads there. After they discover Raven and are loud and distracting, Raven throws out a spell, but it goes wrong and they all get sucked into books. This part was fun as we got to see them interact with famous books/characters, but it's up to Raven to pull them all out of it. Except, they get pulled into another book with the rest of the DC Friends group. There the team discovers who's really behind the mess, the day is saved, and Raven introduces Starfire to the joys of the library. It was cute and fun, but not really that entertaining.

Thank you, DC, for the eGalley to review!

This is exactly what it says it is: an episode of Teen Titans Go, basically. The Titans get stuck in several books after upsetting Raven's reading at the library, and they have to find their ways out to the real world.

It's fun and I just loved the homages to classic literature, prose, and art. I also love how many cameos and little references there are. It drags on a little long toward the end, but otherwise I had a good time reading it and appreciate the shout-out to libraries and books (though we aren't mean about quiet in the building, I promise!).

This story starts with Raven wanting a little peace and quiet while reading..and becomes an epic voyage for the entire team! With story by Franco and Art Baltazar and artwork by Franco, Art Baltazar and Agnes Garbowska the titans go on a literal adventure like none other. I found the story fun, and know my kids will enjoy reading this! What I actually usually don't like but really appreciated was the art change up. Especially when the Titans were going thru different books within the library. Solid piece of work that is sure to entertain. Hint: The library adventures are on the cover art!

I am much older than the target audience for this graphic novel, but I needed a quick, funny read to use as a bridge between two more serious novels. Just like the cartoon, this was funny, with a lot of goofy humor. Each of the Titans magically get stuck in books and shenanigans ensue as they try to get back together and out of the books. If you enjoy Teen Titans, Go! you will probably like Teen Titans, Go! to the library.

A fun entry in the Teen Titans Go! series. I really enjoyed Starfire's adventures in art history and if this gets the target audience to think about Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespeare, and the aforementioned art history, all the better!

The premise sounded interesting, but the story fails after the Raven story (the Poe one), which is a pity. I didn't spot any other books what they were, am I just stupid or what? Art was nice and sometimes this was funny, but the storytelling is the biggest issue. 1,5/5

Well this made my childish side happy. Probably enjoyed Cyborg’s blueprint book the least, but it wasn’t bad. The last book they were stuck in felt a little repetitive, although I smiled at the part with all the different Robins and sidekicks.

I loved the art style of this book and the subtle pop culture nods were amazing!

The gang must figure out how to extricate themselves when mysteriously tucked into books.

Super cute, fast-paced read about the magic of books and libraries.
