Closer to 4.5 stars. Also note: I put this on my "LBGT" shelf, and though the main character is called all manner of deragatory homosexual slurs, it's really more about gender identity, and I didn't want to make a separate shelf for that. 
 Tomboy is a touching tale of LIz' desire to be NOT a girl growing up, including all the trials that adolescence brings to such a struggle. The character are nicely drawn; Prince has a real knack for comic-style art. My 13-year old son loves graphic novels, so he read this, though he didn't like it nearly as much as me. Maybe females (and especially tomoboys!) will find more to relate to, and perhaps enjoy, here. Well done!
