Winner of the Pura Belpré Author Award
Honest and exquisitely crafted. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
One morning before school, some girl tells Piddy Sanchez that Yaqui Delgado hates her and wants to kick her ass. Piddy doesnt even know who Yaqui is, never mind what shes done to piss her off. Word is that Yaqui thinks Piddy is stuck-up, shakes her stuff when she walks, and isnt Latin enough with her white skin, good grades, and no accent. And Yaqui isnt kidding around, so Piddy better watch her back. At first Piddy is more concerned with trying to find out more about the father shes 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 Piddys life. Is there any way for Piddy to survive without closing herself off or running away? Who is Piddy and who does she want to be? The all-too-realistic winner of the 2014 Pura Belpré Author Award from Newbery Medalist Meg Medina celebrates its tenth anniversary with a paperback edition with French flaps featuring a note from the author and updated back matter.
