Produktinformationen zu „The First Rule of Punk “
Twelve-year-old Malú learns that there are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school. Her dad says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: be yourself. When she assembles a group of misfits at school and starts a band, Malú finally begins to feel at home. She'll do anything to preserve this, including standing up to an anti-punk school administration.
Klappentext zu „The First Rule of Punk “
A 2018 Pura Belpré Author Honor BookThe First Rule of Punk is a wry and heartfelt exploration of friendship, finding your place, and learning to rock out like no one s watching.
There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school you can t fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old Malú (María Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle School s queen bee, violates the school s 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 Malú 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, Malú 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.
