Dress Coded

De: Carrie Firestone

Narrado por: Cassandra Morris, Taylor Meskimen, Kim Mai Guest, Tara Sands, Sharinna Allan, Sophie Amoss, Andrea Emmes, Caitlin Kelly, Krystel Roche, Asia Mattu, Courtney Lin

In this debut middle-grade girl-power friendship story, perfect for fans of Moxie, an eighth grader starts a podcast to protest the unfair dress code enforcement at her middle school and sparks a rebellion.

Molly Frost is fed up....

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 gave her an F.

Because it's impossible to find shorts that are longer than her 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With a perfect mix of friendship, humor, and girl power, Dress Coded is a book readers need." (Stacy McAnulty, best-selling author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl)

"Dress Coded is a compelling, subversive, emotionally astute story of the pernicious effects of everyday sexism and of the revolutionary potential when girls decide to fight back. An electrifying ode to the power of standing up and standing together." (Anne Ursu, author of The Real Boy and The Lost Girl)

Perfection

DRESS CODED is one of the best middle grade books I’ve read in recent memory.

Molly Frost, an eighth grader who starts a podcast to expose her middle school’s unfair and overzealous dress code which unfairly targets certain girls.

Molly is a great character and advocate. She isn’t in the fight for the sake of fighting, she just wants the sexist rules to stop. She respectfully tries to work within the system using logic and appealing to her school’s personnel and slowly escalates her efforts with an increasing amount of support from her classmates. At home, she’s dealing with an unkind brother addicted to vaping.

I can’t recommend DRESS CODED enough.

love this.

I absolutely love this book. the story is great and the performance was awesome

AWESOME

This boom was AMAZING 🤩 I love this book because it really showed how unfair schools can be you should definitely read this

This is probably the most relatable book ever

I love this book it is probably the most relatable book I know because a girl gets her period in class and and put her hoodie around her waist. And the character’s voice on the podcast episodes are really pretty and probably Mach their personality but it is a good book overall I hope you read this book.

So true and moving

This book is just incredible and I love all the chapters and metaphors (my fave was The Lip Balm Of Friendship)!

My new favorite book

This book is so good I do not even know where to start. The story is a strong, uplifting story about fighting for equality. The characters are instantly likable, and the book is SO relatable for ANY middle schooler that feels self-conscience about how they look. The reading performance was excellent, too! I recommend this to middle school kids everywhere.

This is such a good book 

This book is highlighting a lot of middle schools, that I have unfair dress codes, and I get that schools are trying to protect children but some of the things in the schools not OK  I really recommend for girls that are going into middle school or going into seventh grade or eighth grade. I think this is a Great book 😜🫶🏻 

amazing story

I loved the Idea of young female activists! The story inspires and motivates young girls to speak out against injustices.

An AMAZING book

This audiobook was probably one of the most inspirational books I’ve heard or read in a while. I loved how they didn’t stop till they got the dress code removed. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great audiobook.

Mollys bravery
