Things get worse when she finds herself on a team competing to redesign the school uniform with fashion-obsessed Azra and eco-conscious Fern. Balancing personal values with friends' expectations is difficult for any teen and Cassie finds herself in a tricky position. Told through an engaging story interspersed with typical teen text messages, readers are challenged to consider fast fashion versus repurposing second-hand clothing. I know my 14-year-old twins would love a chance to redesign their school uniform. One would go for sporty functionality while the other would push for the latest style. Only just today, my daughter and I were in a charity shop looking for fashionable second-hands that would match her style (and her budget!) Many young people are passionate about protecting the environment and the choices they make when it comes to clothing is a tangible way they can make a difference. Stitched Up is sure to inspire them to make even more positive choices and not be afraid to stand up for what they believe in. This book will be a great addition to secondary school libraries. Thank you to Macmillan for a copy of this fun, forward-thinking book.
