The First Rule Of Punk - 9780425290422

A 2018 Pura Belpr? 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 oneÆs watching. There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new schoolùyou canÆt fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old Mal· (Mar?a Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle SchoolÆs queen bee, violates the schoolÆs 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. The real Mal· 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, Mal· 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 throughout make The First Rule of Punk a perfect pick for fans of books like Roller Girl and online magazines like Rookie. "Armed with a microphone and a pair of scissors, this book is all about creating something new and awesome in the world. Mal· rocks!" --Victoria Jamieson, author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning Roller Girl
