Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass

Yaqui Delgado Wants To Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina, 260 pages

Piddy has always been good in school but now she has moved and is in a new school, where a girl has just told her that “Yaqui Delgado wants to kick your ass.” Piddy doesn’t know why; she doesn’t even know Yaqui, but it soon becomes clear that Yaqui is after her just the same. Piddy’s days become filled with trying to stay away from Yaqui to the point where she starts neglecting her school work, and because she doesn’t want to narc, she can’t explain why. This is an excellent, fast-paced read for any high school teens or older middle school students.
