Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina

4.0

Basically, I read this book in on sitting, while I was proctoring a long exam for a few students.  I'm not a particularly quick reader, so I took longer than the average, according to my Kindle (somewhere in the 3:30 range), but I certainly didn't take more than 4:30.  Piddy is a great character to follow as she navigates so many questions and so much drama, but ultimately tries to stay true to who she wants to be and connected to the people who really matter.  Her conflicts around her missing father, her friend who moved away, her new school and neighborhood, the school bully, and her awakening sexuality are off set by some solid relationships with caring adults and kind friends (even when they're not seeing eye to eye).
