Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina

4.0

I really enjoyed this book! I know that this is targeted towards teenagers but this can very well be read by middle schoolers, especially the ones that come to my library that deal with these situations on weekly if not daily basis. I feel that this book did a great job with adding the social media aspect when fights occur with young people these day (even adults) and how that has really taken bullying to a different level. I wanted to hug Piddy because I had been a similar situation when I moved to a new middle school in 7th grade, and some random girl said she heard I was talk about her and wanted to fight me...luckily for me, there was never a fight but just knowing that someone wanted to start something, and someone I had no idea who she was, like Piddy, it was really scary and I did not want to go to school. I would recommend this to middle school kids and up because I think the message in this book is relatable to that population.
