Description
Roller Girl meets School of Rock in this middle grade novel about identity, friendship, and riot-grrrl power by librarian and debut author Celia C. Perez. There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school-you can't fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old Malu (Maria Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle School's queen bee, violates the school's dress code with her punk rock look, and disappoints her college-professor mom in the process. Her dad, who now lives a thousand miles away, says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: be yourself. The real Malu loves rock music, skateboarding, zines, and Soyrizo (hold the cilantro, please). And when she assembles a group of like-minded misfits at school and starts a band, Malu finally begins to feel at home. She'll do anything to preserve this, which includes standing up to an anti-punk school administration to fight for her right to express herself!

      • content: Trini Alvarado voices young Mar�a Luisa, who prefers to be called Mal�, in this audiobook about not fitting in. Navigating a cast of diverse characters, from Mal�'s outspoken mother to her punk rocker father and neighborly Se�ora Oralia, Alvarado flawlessly tackles a variety of Midwestern and Spanish accents. This vulnerable portrayal of a Hispanic girl meeting life's challenges head-on is given beautiful and realistic tones through Alvarado's calm and collected voice. Music is a part of Mal�'s soul, and it can be found in the rhythmic way her thoughts progress through the book. In this story of finding yourself, your friends, and your passion, P�rez and Alvarado ensure that every listener ends the story with the confidence to march to the beat of their own drum.
