Lupe Lopez: ¡Reglas de Una Estrella de Rock!

E. E. Charlton-Trujillo

When a sassy drummer starts kindergarten, the rules of school cramp her style. What's a young rock star to do?

Con sus relucientes gafas de sol, su lonchera clásica y sus lápices tamborileros, Lupe Lopez llega el primer día a kínder lista para el rock.

"¡Soy famosa!" anuncia Lupe mientras tamborilea sobre cualquier cosa--pupitres, sillas y mesas--, mientras más ruidoso, mejor. En la escuela hay muchas reglas, pero las estrellas de rock no obedecen las reglas, así que Lupe tampoco. Antes de que acabe el día, la maestra le ha quitado todas sus preciadas pertenencias, que le serán devueltas después de clase. ¡Lo peor es que nadie se ha inscrito en su club
de admiradores! ¿Qué puede hacer una estrella de rock?

When Lupe Lopez struts through the doors of Hector P. Garcia Elementary in sunglasses with two taped-up No. 2 pencils--drumsticks, of course--poking from her pocket, her confidence is off the charts. All day, Lupe drums on desks, tables, and chairs while Ms. Quintanilla spouts rules. Lupe has her own rules: 1) Don't listen to anyone. 2) Make lots of noise. ¡Rataplán! 3) Have fans, not friends. But with her new teacher less than starstruck, and fans hard to come by, Lupe wonders if having friends is such a bad idea after all. Can it be that true star power means knowing when to share the spotlight? With its spirited illustrations and a simple text threaded through with Spanish words, this picture book is proof positive that being a strong girl with a song in her heart doesn't have to mean pushing others away.

Praise for this book

The colorful illustrations are as vibrant and unique as Lupe herself, and with the lively and humorous Spanish text, bring the characters to life. Kids are sure to love reading out loud the different sounds Lupe makes with her pencil drumsticks. . . . A fun addition to Spanish picture book collections that will encourage readers to be rock stars in and out of the classroom.
