It’s Unity Day at pacer.org’s National Bullying Prevention Center. I didn’t buy my orange t-shirt, but I did finish the trailer for Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass, my upcoming YA novel that’s about this very topic. I shot the footage in Queens a couple of months ago when I was home for a visit. Brought back a lot of memories. (Some that made me shudder.)

This looks powerful — the trailer — and the novel! I can’t wait to read and share — Caroline
That is one intriguing clip. I like the spare use of words, allowing the images to do the work. I can imagine the story will be just as powerful.
Thanks! Hey, I just visited your fabulous site – I think we’re destined to meet each other one day.
I believe it too. I’m thrilled that you stopped by for a visita. PS> My uncle’s nickname was Yaqui, so that has to be fortuitous.
Great trailer Meg!
Love this trailer, Meg. Strong and simple and real–really makes me want to read the book.
