The First Rule of Punk

The First Rule of Punk is a heartfelt exploration of friendship, finding your place, and learning to rock out like no one’s watching.

Malú, a 12-year-old misfit, inadvertently upsets the school's queen bee on her first day at a new school, but with the help of her punk rock loves, skateboarding, zines, and Soyrizo (hold the cilantro, please), she starts a band and finally feels at home.

Stand up to an anti-punk school administration and fight for her right to express herself! This book is a 2018 Pura Belpré Author Honor Book, A 2018 ALSC Notable Children’s Book, A 2018 Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children’s Book Award Winner, A 2017 ABA Indies Introduce Title, and a Kids' Indie Next List Pick.
