The First Rule of Punk

It was a very good book. I learned a lot about Mexican-American culture as well as Punk Rock! I do wish the book had a sequel. It feels like there could have been a lot more to explore with this story.
Ok I LOVED this. I loved how Malu was so sassy and determined. And it her band was amazing and totally punk rock. This is perfect for anyone who feels left out or knows what it's like to move or feels like their parents just don't understand. Amazing!
Looove this! This is the 2nd book I've read this year (after Moxie) that I think really successfully incoporated ZINES. (I have to say that IRL, in my limited experience, I am not seeing a wave of resurgence of teen zine-making, but both of these books make a really persuasive case for why zines are still a relevant and satisfying project.)
This is a great, funny, moving, realistic story about friendship and cultural identity and music and I just loved it <3
