Description
Gr 3–6—A fun romp through the awkward years of middle school that examines themes of
identity and culture. When Malu has to move away from her dad and everything she knows, she
takes her love of punk music with her. Following the rules of punk, she embarks on a new school
journey, full of misadventures and hilarious life lessons. Malu is happy not to fit in with the crowd
yet cannot bring herself to tell her mom that her passion for punk is not a rebellious phase—it's
who she is. When classmates label Malu a coconut (brown on the outside and white on the inside),
she is determined to prove to her school and herself that she is proud of her Mexican roots. With
tenderness and humor, Pérez explores the joys and challenges of being biracial. Readers will
connect with Malu, a strong protagonist who leaps off the page and whose zine-inspired artistry
boldly illustrates how she deals with life. VERDICT Those who enjoy vivacious, plucky heroines,
such as the protagonists of Brenda Woods's The Blossoming Universe of Violet Diamond,
Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich and Audrey Vernick's Two Naomis, and Rebecca Stead's
Goodbye Stranger, will eagerly embrace Malu.—Jessica Bratt, Grand Rapids Public Library, MI
