Description

In this high-interest novel for young readers, Eric and his friends learn about gender equality when they attend a new high school with a strict dress code.

Eric and his buddies have left behind their all boys school to attend high school with girls.

Eager to find his place in this exciting new world, Eric joins the student life committee, unaware that he is expected to enforce the school’s strict dress code. The dress code is particularly harsh on the girls he is keen to get to know. Eric finds this awkward, but it’s nothing compared to the position he finds himself in when the whole school revolts.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read!
