Books like Lily the rebel by Nancy N. Rue
Lily Robbins has always been the portrait of a model student, obedient to school and home rules. Suddenly the pressure of conformity makes her question everything—her class expectations, the school dress code, and even what it means to be "good." When Lily confronts her science teacher, she experiences a rapid shift in popularity: she becomes the campus heartthrob, yet she feels a strange freedom in adopting an alternative hairstyle and a rebel t‑shirt that defies the dress code. Inspired by this newfound confidence, Lily takes on a daring transformation. But her rebellion threatens the relationships she values most. When a close friend faces discrimination, Lily must find a way to regain the trust of her classmates and family to help her friend—and prove that standing up for what matters can coexist with staying true to oneself.
