‘First Rule of Punk’ by Celia C. Pérez (Library promotion)

As part of promoting a culture of reading at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts, I encourage young readers’ book reviews of their favorite books. In that spirit, I display five-star reviews of books that I’ve especially enjoyed. Here is one of my recent five-star reviews, for The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Pérez.

Malú, the protagonist of The First Rule of Punk, is thoroughly likeable and relatable. She simply wants to be herself. One thing I found particularly enjoyable were the interspersed ’zines, pages of collage-art that added dimension to Malú’s narrative. I’m delighted to think that readers of this book might be inspired to make ’zines of their own.
