Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina
3.0
It was one of those teen coming of age stories kind of. The setting and characters are a little different than usual, but the bullying is very real, and the effects it has on the main character are lasting and well written.
Her struggles to come to terms with herself, her heritage, and her place in the world are poignant.
It's a good read for teens, simple, quick, and the story isn't overwhelmingly negative or falsely happy. The old apartment and the people who live in it, while never fleshed out feel real.
