At the beginning of her sophomore year in a new high school Piedad "Piddy" Sanchez hears about how Yaqui Delgado thinks she is stuck-up, but even though she is more concerned with her family life and staying in touch with her best friend, Mitzi, when the harassment escalates, avoiding Yaqui and her gang takes over Piddy's life.
For a powerful POC perspective, 'Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass' by Meg Medina is a fantastic and poignant teen adventure.
