"A much-needed reminder that certain fights are worth fighting,
that while bears of all types may prowl unsettlingly close, fear
can be faced down and victories achieved, especially with strength
in numbers." --The New York Times
"Timely, engaging, and full of heart." --Kirkus Reviews, starred
review
"Full of humor, rage, and heart . . . A triumphant ending shows how
systemic change can be made when girls stand together. Absolutely
necessary for tweens and teens . . . Straight fire." --Booklist,
starred review
"Crackling . . . A deeply, often scathingly honest work of modern
fiction." --School Library Journal, starred review
"With timely, important anecdotes that ring painfully true,
Firestone cuts to the heart of the damage that dress coding can
inflict . . . [A] deeply satisfying, variously inclusive journey
with a wonderfully flawed main character." --Publishers Weekly,
starred review
"[Dress Coded] addresses deeper issues such as draconian and
prejudicial dress codes, body shaming, name calling, bullying, and
vaping . . . The story reflects the ups and downs of middle school,
and the validation that comes when one successfully stands up for
what one believes." --School Library Connection
"With a perfect mix of friendship, humor, and girl power, Dress
Coded is a book readers need." --Stacy McAnulty, bestselling 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
