Recommended by

"Meet 12-year-old Maria Luisa – everyone calls her Malú – the main character in The First Rule of Punk. She calls her mom the “SuperMexican,” and her dad is white. So where does she fit in? As she wrestles with moving to a new town and being different, it’s punk rock that speaks to her and helps her find her sense of self. As Malú figures it out, she makes plenty of mistakes, but she is really trying. And in the end, the book shows how good friends and good music (and making a good zine) can lift your soul. Spoiler alert: The first rule of punk? Be yourself. A thousand times yes."
