Tomboy: a graphic memoir by Liz Prince
Liz was a kid who knew what she liked: boy stuff. Boy clothing, boy toys and games, boy sports, boys as friends. She also knew what she didn't like: girl stuff.
Her road to adulthood was bumpy and full of uncertainty. Was she a lesbian? Transgender? A complete freakazoidal weirdo that nobody would ever like (except her mom, because that's her mom's, like, job)?
Would Liz ever conform to gender norms? And more importantly: would Liz ever want to comform?
This quick-paced graphic memoir is full of angst, but it's also funny. Liz may not be much like other people, but she's got a handle on that now. Her story is worth reading--and sharing.
Recommended for ages 14 to adult.
