About the book
“What do you do when your mom moves you to Chicago, far away from your friends, your dad, and his record shop? If you’re Malu, you make zines to express your feelings, find your people at school, and start a punk band to reinvent traditional Mexican music. This tour-de-force debut will have you smiling, singing, and cheering for Malu as she explores her family history, culture, and community and comes to better understand herself. A must-have middle-grade book.” —Cecilia Cackley, East City Bookshop, Washington, DC
