The First Rule of Punk
A 2018 Pura Belpré Author Honor Book
The First Rule of Punk is a wry and heartfelt exploration of friendship, finding your place, and learning to rock out like no oneâs watching.
There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new schoolâyou canât fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old MalĂș (MarĂa Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle Schoolâs queen bee, violates the schoolâs dress code with her punk rock look, and disappoints her college-professor mom in the process. Her dad, who now lives a thousand miles away, says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: be yourself.
Â
The real MalĂș loves rock music, skateboarding, zines, and Soyrizo (hold the cilantro, please). And when she assembles a group of like-minded misfits at school and starts a band, MalĂș finally begins to feel at home. She'll do anything to preserve this, which includes standing up to an anti-punk school administration to fight for her right to express herself!
Black and white illustrations and collage art by award-winning author Celia C. Pérez are featured throughout.
"MalĂș rocks!"
