I think all of these characteristics make her less of a book character and more of a person. I love how diverse Malú’s character is and all the little details that make her more alive, like her being vegetarian or her love of making zines, or her favourite music. When Malú’s life is disrupted by a sudden move to Chicago, she thinks it’s all over but she quickly makes new friends and settles in. The First Rule of Punk was a unique story about Malú (or María Louisa), a girl who loves everything to do with punk. It is funny at parts, sad at parts but it’s exciting all the way through! I feel like lots of people can read this story and see parts of themselves in Malú’s playful, determined personality and I think that is something really special. Pérez is an empowering book about a girl fighting for her right to express herself.
