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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763671648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.53w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nevada Young Readers' Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e157469 \/ Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Meg Medina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36642189246620,"sku":"9780763671648","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bca948b7-2327-410e-956c-b6a9606ca984.jpg?v=1603854553","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/yaqui-delgado-wants-to-kick-your-ass-9780763671648","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
