"Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass" by Meg Medina (272 pages)

This is a story of true strength. Piddy Sanchez is threatened by Yaqui Delgado, a girl from her new school who threatens to beat her up. She doesn’t even know Yagui Delgado or what she could have possibly done to make Yaqui want to do such a thing to her. All she knows is that Yaqui hates her. The bullying gets to the point where she can no longer handle going to school anymore and it affects her grades. Piddy begins to lose all the strength she has because she is too scared to get help from someone.

How far will Piddy let the bullying go before she finally gives in and gets help? This book is so good I recommend it to all teenagers going into high school, or a new school. I wish I had access to such a realistic fiction book like this one a while ago. If bullying is something that hits the heart, this is a powerful read that you will absolutely devour.  This is a must read.
