Newbery Medalist Meg Medina returns to her powerful YA novel about school bullying with a dynamic graphic-novel edition adapted and illustrated by Mel Valentine Vargas.
Itâs the beginning of sophomore year, and Piedad âPiddyâ Sanchez is having a hard time adjusting to her new high school. Things donât get any easier when Piddy learns that Yaqui Delgado hates her and wants to kick her ass. Piddy doesnât even know who Yaqui is, never mind what sheâs done to piss her off. Rumor has it that Yaqui thinks Piddy is stuck-up, shakes her stuff when she walks, and isnât Latina enough with her white skin, good grades, and no accent. And Yaqui isnât kidding around, so Piddy better watch her back. At first, Piddy is more concerned with learning about the father sheâs never met, navigating her rocky relationship with her mom, and staying in touch with her best friend, Mitzi. But when the harassment escalates, avoiding Yaqui and her gang takes over Piddyâs life. Is there any way for Piddy to survive without closing herself off from those who care about herâor running away? More relevant than ever a decade after its initial publication, Mel Valentine Vargasâs graphic novel adaptation of Meg Medinaâs ultimately empowering story is poised to be discovered by a new generation of readers.
