Dress Coded
Summary
In this debut middle-grade girl-power friendship story, 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.

Though fate seems determined to tear them apart, they won't give up without a fight - because while time may have limits, their love is infinite.... Book two in the Off the Map series
