Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick You Ass by Meg Medina

Interest Level: Young Adult
Reading Level: 5.3 grade
Lexile: 670 HL
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Currently on pg. 40, chapter 6

Piddy Sanchez is attending a new school. She is currently hanging with the brainiacs. Then one of her new brainy friends tells her that Yaqui Delgado wants to beat her up. Piddy doesn't even know who this girl is. Then Piddy's friend Darlene points Yaqui out. Piddy can't recall ever seeing her before. Why would Yaqui have a problem with Piddy? Mitzi, Piddy's best friend, moved to Queens and then Piddy moved. Unfortunately, she didn't move anywhere close to Mitzi. On top of all of this, Piddy's mom is working more hours. Therefore, Piddy not only cooks dinner but is in charge of the laundry. So far, I am enjoying it. I want to find out. Why Yaqui is upset with Piddy? Why is her name Piddy? Is it a nickname?
