Yaqui Delgado Wants tot Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina
This one has been on my wishlist for a while but it looks so so good. I am really excited by the synopsis of this one and really want to pick it up so I might ask for it for my birthday! Hopefully my TBR will be much much smaller by then..
In Meg Medina’s
compelling new novel, a Latina teen is targeted by a bully at her new
school — and must discover resources she never knew she had.One morning before school, some girl tells Piddy Sanchez that Yaqui Delgado hates her and wants to kick her ass. Piddy doesn’t even know who Yaqui is, never mind what she’s done to piss her off. Word is that Yaqui thinks Piddy is stuck-up, shakes her stuff when she walks, and isn’t Latin enough with her white skin, good grades, and no accent. And Yaqui isn’t kidding around, so Piddy better watch her back. At first Piddy is more concerned with trying to find out more about the father she’s never met and how to balance honors courses with her weekend job at the neighborhood hair salon. But as the harassment escalates, avoiding Yaqui and her gang starts to take over Piddy’s life. Is there any way for Piddy to survive without closing herself off or running away? In an all-too-realistic novel, Meg Medina portrays a sympathetic heroine who is forced to decide who she really is.
