Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina

4.0

Piddy starts a new school in the middle of the semester and knows that it's not going to be an easy ride. It's not the classes that are harder than her old school, it's the people. From day one, she is told that Yaqui Delgado wants to kick her ass - and is calling her names, names that would start rumors. And Piddy never did anything to the girl! Couldn't even pick Yaqui out of a lineup. But with no friends at her new school to watch her back, and her mother too busy working to confide in, Piddy starts skipping classes, then entire days, then tries to escape into a boy from her past. But Yaqui is always there, and Piddy realizes the only way to make this problem go away is to face it head on, even if she has to do it alone.
