Description



About the Book



When Lupe Lopez struts through the doors of Hector P. Garcia Elementary in sunglasses with two taped-up Number 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 reminds her of school rules. Lupe has her own rules: 1) Don't listen to anyone. 2) Make lots of noise. Rataplan! 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?



Book Synopsis



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

When Lupe Lopez struts through the doors of Hector P. Garcia Elementary in sunglasses with two taped-up Number 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 reminds her of school 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 moving to her own beat doesn't have to mean pushing others away.



Review Quotes




Spanish-inflected onomatopoeia describing drumbeats jumps out of the text and makes a bold statement, just like Lupe herself. . . . . Cepeda's full-bleed spreads are immersive and inviting. . . An instructive story about balancing big dreams with real life, with a charming heroine to root for.

--Kirkus Reviews

Employing Spanish words and onomatopoeia, and Cepeda's full-bleed, sunshine-bright cartoons, this story assures even the most exuberant kid that they can master the big social-emotional task of kindergarten: holding onto individuality while becoming part of a community.
--Publishers Weekly

Lupe Lopez: Rock Star Rules is a fun, fresh addition to the back-to-school picture book canon. It's perfect for young readers who march to the beat of their own drums but may benefit from a gentle reminder to respect the needs of others around them. . . Lupe is the brainchild of a picture book dream team. . . Together, Charlton-Trujillo, Zietlow Miller and Cepeda have created an unforgettable heroine who will leap off the page and right onto your bookshelf.

Reaching for the Stars!

Lupe starts first grade wanting to be on The Reading Wall of Fame. That is where the names of the kids who are great readers, the reading rock stars, are featured. Their name, picture, and a big star are posted for each student. But reading is harder than she thought. Plus, another student, Victor, taunts her about her lack of reading skills. She is so discouraged she gives up reading, and no longer cares about being with her friends from their band. But one day, she discovers reading and music have a lot in common—they both have rhythm. Learning to read can be a daunting task. This picture book urges young ones not to give up, even when it is hard. Lupe though upset and ready to stop trying, gives things another chance. This three-star story is a bit disconnected, making the point of the tale somewhat difficult. But encouraging children not to give up, especially when reading, is a noble cause. Preschoolers through second grade will enjoy this book. Thank you, Candlewick Press, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.
