Tomboy by Liz Prince had me hooked from the beginning. I love a little graphic novel, so let me just say that. Liz Prince was a tomboy since she was a young girl, a lot of people say that this may just be a phase that she was going through, because this even happened to me at a young age. The difference is that Liz continues to be a Tomboy as she grows up. This short novel shows so many real life situations that happens to young girls. When a mother has a baby girl they want to boy them so many dresses, doll houses, makeup, etc, meanwhile the girl and so many other girls want to play with toys that are more “boy toys” (although…. to me there’s really no boy or girl toys because anyone can play with them).
in chapter 4 it was so important for Liz to find other girls in her grade that are more tomboy and can stick up liz as well as themselves. Especially during the scene when liz and her friends are called lesbians by the middle school boys. I would really like to read the rest of this graphic novel to see what else liz is up to in life and see if she changes at all out of a tomboy or stays a tomboy
