Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass
by Meg Medina
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?
REVIEWS...
"I cried and cheered for Piddy in equal measure. Medina perfectly captures the devastating impact of bullying—and the powerful influence of kindness in recovery. I love this book and miss Piddy already!" -- Jo Knowles, author of Jumping Off Swings
"This gritty novel manages to transcend the usual earnest fictional treatment by delivering a protagonist who is more than a mere victim and an ending that rings complicatedly true." --Washington Post
"Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass should be taught in schools, read by counselors and parents, and used as a tool to discuss the importance of finding your voice, telling the truth, and asking for help." --Common Sense Media
The MRC doesn't carry Goosebumps titles (they are a bit middle school, after all), but we do have other books by R.L. Stine that skew a bit older, including...
- Red Rain
- Fear: 13 Stories of Suspense and Horror [stories selected by Stine]
- Dangerous Girls: A Novel
- The Best Friend
- Blind Date
We even have a couple of his books in Spanish!
- La Invasion do lose Hidrosimos
- No Bajes al Sotano!
