The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Perez
Follow Malu as she navigates moving to a new school and coming to terms with the multiple parts of her Mexican-American identity. She's long thought she was a "Coconut" and that her punk rock personality clashed with what it meant to be in touch with her Mexican heritage. Now, new friends and a new perspective are showing her the most punk thing she can do is to be herself!
