The Hundred Dresses

About This Book

Wanda Petronski wears the same faded blue dress to school every day and claims to have a hundred dresses at home — all lined up in her closet. The other girls don't believe her, and Maddie knows the teasing is wrong but says nothing. Eleanor Estes' Newbery Honor novel is one of the earliest and most enduring books about bullying, bystanders, and the cost of silence.
