"Fighting Words is raw, it is real, it is necessary, a must-read for children and their adultsa 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 [but] more than that, it’s a book about resilience, strength and healing.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Della’s matter-of-fact narration manages to be as funny and charming as it is devastatingly sad. . . . This is a novel about trauma [but] more than that, it’s a book about resilience, strength and healing. For every young reader who decides to wait and read it when they’re a little older, there will be others for whom this is the exact book they need right now."New York Times Book Review

"Believable and immensely appealing, Suki, Francine, and especially Della light up [the] story . . . Readers will root for these sisters along every step of their daunting journey. Refusing to soft-pedal hard issues, the novel speaks with an astringent honesty, at once heartbreaking and hopeful.” —Kirkus (starred review)

Perfectly balances pathos and humor [while] also showcasing the astonishing strength and resilience of children to confront, and eventually heal from, trauma and sexual abuse. . . . Unforgettable.” The Horn Book (starred review)

“Always an engaging and smooth writer, Bradley here unfurls a tale that initially recalls Paterson’s classic Great Gilly Hopkins but then adds layers of complexity . . . It’s a sensitive exploration of the way people can suffer in different ways and need different things, and characterization is deft and vivid . . . Stirring . . . Satisfying . . . Rewarding.” BCCB (starred review)

“Despite the horrors the sisters have endured, there is humor and warmth in this multifaceted, brave novel. Bradley creates fully developed, believable characters that readers will root for. . . . Raw and honest, this ultimately empowering novel is an important book for readers of all ages.” SLJ (starred review)

“This story, no PSA, is an honest slice of a difficult life—unvarnished, painful, and raw, [and] Della is a powerhouse of a protagonist . . . Prepare to read furiously.” Booklist (starred review)

“Della’s tough, straightforward narration pulls no punches as she learns the power of using her ‘big mouth’ and inspires others to tell their stories when and how they are able. Sharp characterizations by Newbery Honoree Brubaker Bradley create an essential, powerful mirror and window for any reader.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Bradley handles these tough subjects in ways that are enlightening, empowering and—yes—uplifting . . . Fighting Words is a story readers will draw strength from, and Della is a heroine they’ll be unlikely to forget.”BookPage

“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. [Readers] will learn about mental health, poverty, addiction, the foster-care system, the importance of consent, and, finally, the importance of destigmatizing these all-too-common stories. 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 am blown away. This is a powerful, necessary book about a difficult subject, written with honesty, tenderness, and consummate craft. Della’s story will burrow deep into your heart.
Fighting Words may be Kimberly Brubaker Bradley’s best work yet.” —Barbara Dee, award-winning author of Maybe He Just Likes You

“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. This beautiful, heartbreaking, and hopeful book is a place where readers can build strength and resilience, page by page, with the gift of opening, closing, and discussing in their own time and at their own pace. 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

“Absolutely magnificent. The voice on this girl—I cannot get Della out of my head or my heart. 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

Top reviews from the United States

  • Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2020
    There are so many remarkable and beautiful things about this book I’m not sure where to start. The story opens with ten year old Della telling us about the brand new tattoo she just got — an ampersand. It is extraordinarily meaningful, which is why her foster mother, Francine, let her do it. Della tells us right up front that some of her story she has to share is hard. From page one I was swept into an amazing journey that I knew would be tough, but that surprised me with so much that is triumphant.

    Let me say right away this book is hard in the same way life is hard. It is also lovely in the same way life is lovely. It is well balanced and left me with very positive feelings. It is not schmaltzy. Ever. There will be people who want to keep this book out of the hands of the very readers who need it the most. This would be a travesty not only to children, but to humanity. This is an important book. It is time.

    The author weaves this story in a way that doesn’t flinch from the truth, yet it is done so gracefully that the light the reader follows is bright and full of hope. The child characters view their world through a clear and practical lens, and as is true in life, they often see things with more depth and clarity than the adults around them.

    Della and her sister Suki are tied to each other with a metaphorical rope that often burns, yet always binds them to each other. In the beginning of the story it is clear their emotional growth has been stunted by the life they have just escaped. They are in constant survival mode and believe it is always a mistake to trust the adults in charge. They bounce off each other, protect each other, suffer for each other, and constantly encourage each other. Suki, who has cared for Della since she herself was six years old, keeps her sister focussed on the future when Suki will be old enough to get a job and an apartment. When it will be just the two of them. No foster parents, no fake stepparents, no case workers, no friends who tell their secrets — just the two of them.

    The girls love each other and stand tall and strong against the world when united. But it isn’t until they are temporarily separated that they both begin to grow as individuals and to accept that what happened to them is not their fault. This is a message that can never be conveyed strongly enough to children and it is handled well in this story, by the characters coming to this realization organically.

    The adult character’s are also well done with individual personalities that do not take over the story. They are flawed, as we all are, which helps the reader never feel preached-to. Again, no schmaltz, but as an adult who has been impacted by this issue, I really appreciated the care in which the author developed the adults in the room.

    Francine, the new foster mom, is perfectly imperfect. She is not the stereotypical sugary foster-mom (nor the evil stepmother-type). At first I was curious about what I perceived to be her lack of warmth toward the girls. She is very cautious about alluding to anything that might give them unrealistic expectations. She also does not challenge the bond between them. Rather, she lets them peel the onion that is “them” one papery-thin layer at a time, giving the girls space to come to their own conclusions while providing a safe, predictable home for them to heal. As it should be.

    There is a tormenting boy character named Trevor who clearly has issues going on in his life that make him act out inappropriately to the girls in the class at school. But when Della realizes she has the power — and the right — to tell people they are not allowed to touch her without permission, she communicates this clearly and confidently to Trevor. This moment made me literally fly up from my chair and cheer.

    Della reveals her story layer by layer and prepares the reader when things are about to get ugly. The author has done a brilliant job of only using words that matter, so when the truth of what happened is exposed, it is done in a sparse but honest way, which allows for the surrounding beauty to hold us up. When I got to the last twenty or so pages, I put the book aside for a day because I didn’t want it to end. When I did finish, I felt both more hopeful and more powerful.

    This is an important topic that needs to be discussed openly and I am grateful to the author for leading the way with this hard-to-put-down book. There is much to be said and the conversation should start right now. Here, I’ll go first: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

    Definitely a quick and easy read. But such a good story.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2021
    What can I say about this book? I can say that it’s beautifully written. I can say that Kimberly wrote from Della’s little 10 year old heart so delicately and authentically that I was right in the action with her. I can say that Kimberly wrote a book about two little girls who started as victims but are on their way to being heroes! Francine is a foster mother that all foster kids need. Every character in this book was genuinely written and well placed! Little Neveah was such a great little friend that her actions and words brought tears to my eyes. Teachers need to read this book so that they don’t end up being a Ms. Davonte. I know being a teacher is hard work, but so much responsibility comes with the role. It’s too important to drop the ball. At any rate, as a middle school librarian, I want kids at my school to read this very powerful and timely book. The subject matter is tough but necessary. Bahni Turpin’s narration took this already brilliant book into the stratosphere! She’s such a talent. I’ll be recommending this one when the new school year begins, for sure. I’m so glad that I got to spend a portion of my summer with this awesome book.

    Such a fantastic book for middle school students. I wish this book had been around when I was in the 5th or 6th grade. As you read, you see the pain and anguish caused by abuse and how recovery is a long, hard process, especially for two young girls without their parents. Thank goodness for the lesson Della learns about consent, and how no one touches her without permission first. So powerful, and meaningful, in a world where too often we are told that "boys will be boys" and that it's just not a big deal. Perfect for middle schoolers, even more perfect for middle schoolers and their parents. Highly recommend.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2020
    This could so easily have been a tale of relentless misery because the main character, Della, has had a terrible life. However, her strength, her love for her sister and her recognition of the little bits of kindness that occasionally get shown to her, enable her to fight back against the trauma and the bullies. So believable and readable.

    Reviewed in Japan on December 23, 2020
    めちゃめちゃ気に入って興奮してどうしても星を5つ付けたくなり投稿。

    虐待を受けて育った姉妹が苦しみながらも自立し生き延びる方を学んでいく、という物語。言葉を正しく使って周りの大人を巻き込み、イジメを克服していくシーンが特に好きだった。

    パッとしたこと書けなかったけど、子供だけでなく大人にとってもとても良い本だと思います。
