Dress Coded by Carrie Firestone

Text from the back cover:

Molly Frost is FED UP with the school dress-code policy. Because Olivia was yelled at for wearing a tank top. Because Liza got dress coded and Molly didn't, even though they were wearing the exact same outfit. Because when Jessica was pulled over by the principal and missed a math quiz, her teacher fave her an F. Because it's impossible to find shorts that are longer than your fingertips. Because girls' bodies are not a distraction. Because middle school is hard enough. And so Molly starts a podcast where girls can tell their stories, and before long, her small rebellion swells into a revolution. Because now the girls are standing up for what's right, and they're not backing down.

Listen to the first chapter of Dress Coded, read to you by a middle school librarian.
