About this title

Review:

"Prince's tongue-in-cheek black-and-white line drawings, in a charming style reminiscent of Jeffrey Brown's autobiographical comics, pack a punch in this empowering memoir that should have ample appeal for any kid who feels like an outsider."--Booklist

"The gags make readers laugh in the moment, but there are insights that stick around long after the book goes back on the shelf." -- The Onion AV Club

"Prince's tongue-in-cheek B&W line drawings pack a punch, with ample appeal for any kid who feels like an outsider." -- Booklist
