3.0

This is a straightforward, engaging graphic novel memoir about Lewis's discovery of his trans identity and his eventual transition from female to male. There are so many teens who will find themselves in this story and I'm happy that it's a book that exists. Those teens need the chance to see themselves in graphic novels, too!

The overall format and tone wasn't quite what I was expecting for this, but it works for the intended audience. The general tone is, for the most part, light and entertaining, despite the fact that it's dealier with heavier issues like bullying, homophobia, eating disorders, and transphobia. It's a good conversation starter, and I'm glad for the ways that it will make teens feel seen.

challenging funny medium-paced

5.0

Since he was a young child, Lewis knew that he felt like a boy in a girl’s body.  But in the UK in the 2000s, he wouldn’t discover the word “transgender,” and what it meant for him, until he was well into young adulthood.  In his wonderful graphic memoir, Lewis describes the struggles of living as a girl during his teen years—from hair pulling to disordered eating to obsessively bodybuilding—and the process of discovering his sexuality and gender identity, told in his native British vernacular with equal parts humor and heart.
