Battle Dress

“Provides insights into long-held traditions at a mostly unfamiliar, formerly male-dominated institution. Compelling, at times stomach-turning, reading.”—School Library Journal

“A fascinating story about a young woman’s first six weeks at West Point, otherwise known as new Cadet Basic Training (or the ‘Beast’).”—The Seattle Times

“Andi’s story is an incredibly inspiring one that proves anything is achievable if you want it badly enough.”—Teen People Book Club

“Andi’s capably depicted transformation from an insecure adolescent into a knowledgeable and fit soldier, unhesitatingly obedient to the code of military conduct, may prove more disturbing to some readers than the edgiest sex, rebellion, and family dysfunction offerings of YA literature.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Even readers who disagree with Andi’s values will be pulling for her.”—Publishers Weekly
