Hey all, I spent hours searching and I have thrown in the towel.

I want to say the book had quail on the cover, or quail or partridge birds were involved somehow, and maybe a girl? Kind of a moodier type of mood to it?

YA novel where the main protagonist is a girl who is kind of an outsider and possibly had magic powers.

In one part of the book a bully at school pushes her and she hits her head, she goes home to take a shower and the back of her head is bleeding.

I really want to find this book, it’s one of those books you encountered at the library over summer vacation when you were in middle school and stuck with your younger siblings and divorcing parents for weeks, you love it, return it to the library, and even when you go back to get it again a week later it is gone, and you can’t remember the title, and it bothers you forever.

Let me know if you know it!

Do you mind if I crosspost this to Reddit as well?

Do you remember when you read it (the year, not your age or grade) and if it was old/new at the time? That could help pin down a publication date.
