Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina

4.0

Piddy has the cards stacked against her as she moves to a new school during her sophomore year and is noticed by the school bully. While she tries valiantly to remain above the fray, when Yaqui Delgado does indeed kick her ass, Piddy changes. This is truly a "poignant and all too-realistic" story about a girl in a bad situation. As an educator, I felt like it gave me an insight into the emotional turmoil of the victims and a better look at how the system's hands can be tied in situations like this. A good read!
