Like I keep saying, this is a great book for kids. Nice stories. Good morals. Easy reading. This one gives us the origins of Beast Boy, and Cyborg. But they aren't like the usual origin stories. For kids, that would be very boring. Garth is telling his to some kids while they're camping. He's telling it like a ghost story around the campfire. And of course he has to camp up the story a bit. But we get a quick glimpse of the Justice League and the Doom Patrol. Cyborg is relating his to the kids chaperon. Who happens to be his ex-girlfriend. He agreed to help with the trip back when they were together, so he's here. But then he and Sarah start talking. This is the first time they've had to catch up since their college days. He hadn't tried to contact her because he just assumed that she wouldn't want anything to do with him. However, after telling her the story . . . . I think they'll be getting back together. I know. Simple story. But . . . it's for kids. Specifically! And they're doing a good job setting these stories up for a specific age level. They're cool and they're fun. What more could you ask for?
