This graphic novel does a great job of showing how hurtful people can be, whether they do it on purpose or not. My fourteen-year-old daughter has had short hair for two years and is often called "buddy" or "young man." Our identity is so vitally important to us that when someone gets it wrong, for whatever reason, it hurts. ![]() When I was in seventh grade I had short hair and was often mistaken for a boy. But the intent behind the words speaks volumes. What's interesting about the bullying and taunting is that the words the bullies choose. ![]() Just to confuse people even more (as if it's any of their business) Liz is interested in boys romantically so when kids called her a lesbian, it just didn't make sense to her. She dresses like a boy, played "boy" games growing up, etc and for that she suffered at the hands of her peers. The great thing is, that through all of the bullying, taunting, and teasing, Liz Prince held it together and didn't change who she is for other people and that's such an important message. Since it's a graphic novel, it's a quick read and I think it will really appeal to a certain kind of secondary student, both boys and girls.Įveryone has times when they feel different and this book shows that in full force. Lizs first graphic novel, Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir, was released in 2014 by. Review: The Librarian at my school recommended this one to me and I'm glad she did. Galaxy of Comics in the San Fernando Valley sells comic books, graphic novels, back issues and toys. Liz draws comics full time, and lives in Portland, Maine, with her cats. ![]()
