"Fighting Words is raw, it is real, it is necessary, a must-read for children and their adults--a total triumph in all ways." Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s
Ten-year-old Della has always had her older sister, Suki: When their mom went to prison, Della had Suki. When their mom's boyfriend took them in, Della had Suki. When that same boyfriend did something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki. Suki is Della's own wolf--her protector. But who has been protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it counts. Then Suki tries to kill herself, and Della's world turns so far upside down, it feels like it's shaking her by the ankles. Maybe she's been quiet about the wrong things. Maybe it's time to be loud.
In this powerful novel that explodes the stigma around child sexual abuse and leavens an intense tale with compassion and humor, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells a story about two sisters, linked by love and trauma, who must find their own voices before they can find their way back to each other.
"Della s matter-of-fact narration manages to be as funny and charming as it is devastatingly sad. . . . This is a novel about trauma and the scars it leaves on bodies, minds and hearts. But more than that, it s a book about resilience, strength and healing." New York Times Book Review

Gripping. Life-changing. Essential. Fighting Words is a testament to the power we have when we stand up, speak up, and stick together. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley s talent is extraordinary. I am awe-struck. Donna Gephart, award-winning author of Lily and Dunkin
One of the best books I've ever read. It will go down as one of the best books, one of the most important books, ever written for kids. Colby Sharp of Nerdy Book Club
"The remarkable thing about this book is how infinitely enjoyable it is, in spite of some of the terrible and terrifying content. I picked it up and simply found myself unable to put it down. The VOICE on its 10-year-old narrator Della is one for the history books. One of the best of the year." Betsy Bird for A Fuse #8 Production/SLJ
Fighting Words extend[s] the legacy of [Laurie Halse Anderson's] Speak [and] meets the criteria of great children s literature that manages to resonate with adults too.

The importance and value of speaking." Bitch Media
Rather than shielding her readers, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley arms them with Fighting Words, a compassionate, truthful, and beautiful story about the trauma of sexual abuse and the remarkable power of sisterhood. Elana K. Arnold, Printz Honor-winning author of Damsel

I wish all children were lucky enough that the first time they encountered dark and difficult things, it was not through a swift and sudden rift in their real lives, but within the safe pages of a story.

And for those who have, till now, felt alone in their hurtful past, this is a book that lets them know they have never been alone. And never will be. Kat Yeh, award-winning author of The Truth About Twinkie Pie
