YA
In an often funny, sometimes painful, and sharply observed graphic-novel memoir, self-described tomboy Prince views her formative years through the lens of gender--or rather, society's rigid rules for gender conformity. Prince's honest voice and self-deprecating humor help make young Liz a sympathetic and relatable character. The simply rendered black-and-white panel drawings have an unpretentious quality, in keeping with the narrative tone.
