Being Miss Nobody

Author: Tamsin Winter Publisher: Usborne ISBN: 9781474927277

CHILDREN can be cruel sometimes, especially towards those who are different.

Rosalind can’t speak in public, so naturally, she becomes a bullying victim in school.

She’s the weird girl who doesn’t speak. She’s nicknamed the Mute-ant. She hates school and who can blame her?

Then, one day, she discovers that she can fight back – not only for herself but also for other victims suffering in silence.

With her little brother’s encouragement and help, Rosalind starts a blog – Miss Nobody – a place where she finally has a voice.

When a new girl arrives in school, Rosalind is assigned to be her buddy and from there, Rosalind finds her first true best friend.

Things seem to be looking up for her but there are several problems.

Her beloved little brother is very ill, and the blog goes out of control.

Author Winter has created a heartbreak of a book with Being Miss Nobody.

Her message of the importance of speaking up, of not being afraid to stand up in front of people and telling them what you think, or being afraid but doing it anyway, is brilliantly incorporated into a touching tale of loss and redemption.

And make sure there’s a box of tissues around when you read this book. – K.K. Wong
