## About this book

Why is the school dress code strictly enforced against some kids but not others? Why did Olivia get in trouble for wearing a tank top? Why did Liza get dress-coded but Molly did not, even though they were wearing the same outfit? Molly is fed up with the gross inequities she sees happening at school and decides to take matters into her own hands. The eighth graders thus begin a podcast in which the girls can tell their stories and make themselves heard. And their small act of rebellion may turn into a revolution – and you’ll be wanting in on the action.
