The First Rule of Punk
Celia C. Pérez
- Reading
- Read together in short stretches if useful, pausing to notice how Malú uses music and zines to express herself; invite your child to connect these choices with their own interests.
- Themes
- Self-expression and school rules: Malú's punk look conflicts with the school's dress code, and she later stands up to the administration over self-expression. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- School tensions include a dress-code dispute and friction with a popular pupil; Malú also lives with her mother while her father lives far away.
