Geoff Johns and Ben Raab's brilliant storytelling takes a closer look at fan-favorite Beast Boy in Teen Titans: Beast Boys and Girls. The book compiles Beast Boy #1 - 4 and Teen Titans #13 - 15 into a single book about how difficult it is for some kids to go to school.

When the Titans return to school after their battle with Brother Blood, a bunch of the kids turn into green animals, while Beast Boy reverts to normal. It turns out the virus, Sakutia, had left Beast Boy's body and infected several of the kids in the school.

The Titans end up finding Zookeeper, who attempts to capture Beast Boy so he can find a cure for Sakutia as he is also a carrier. When confronted, he turns into a dinosaur and trashes the city.

This is one of those stories that make the Teen Titans a fun book to read. It's lighthearted and entertaining in a way that isn't too heavy, while still managing to deal with the issues facing the characters in a serious and respectful manner.
