There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new schoolyou cant fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old Mal inadvertently upsets Posada Middle Schools queen bee, violates the schools 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 Mal 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, Mal finally begins to feel at home. Shell do anything to preserve this, which includes standing up to an anti-punk school administration to fight for her right to express herself!
