Margie Kelly Breaks the Dress Code is a fiercely intelligent, witty, and feminist novel that deserves to be distributed to every middle school student. Brandy Colbert, an award-winning author of The Only Black Girls in Town, praised this thought-provoking book, stating that it is both timely and necessary.
The story revolves around Margie Kelly, who experiences a dress-code violation on her first day of middle school. Feeling upset and embarrassed, Margie spends the entire day in oversized gym shorts, setting the tone for an uncomfortable day. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong does, adding to her frustration. However, when Margie realizes that the dress code is only applied to girls and not to boys, she becomes infuriated. She realizes that the dress code is hindering girls' learning opportunities and perpetuating the notion that boys rule the school. Moreover, the teachers turn a blind eye to the situation, allowing the unfair treatment to continue.
Determined to make a change, Margie comes up with a brilliant idea: she plans a school-wide protest against the dress code. As Margie progresses with her plans, she begins to understand that her own privilege plays a part in the problem, and not everyone's voices are being heard. She realizes that there is more work to be done to create meaningful change for all students.
In conclusion, Margie Kelly Breaks the Dress Code is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that addresses important issues such as gender inequality and the power of activism. It is a must-read for middle school students and educators alike, as it encourages critical thinking and empathy.
