Being Miss Nobody

This book is about a girl named Rosalind who has just started secondary school. Rosalind has selective mutism and has a little brother Seb who has leukaemia (cancer) and gets bullied a lot at school by "The Girl With The Smudged Eyeliner" (who quoted "Oh my gosh, you just made me smudge my eyeliner!" and hit Rosalind in the bathrooms) and Maisy Love. Eventually this all gets much for Rosalind and after being told to start a diary by her speech therapist Octavia she starts writing a blog called Miss Nobody standing up to bullying at Rosalind's school, Manor High. However later on Rosalind writes a blog post about Maisy, adding the hashtag #maisyhate, sparking bullying to Maisy. Rosalind tries to convince herself that this is good news and may stop Maisy bullying others but knows she needs to stop. After the trip to Wales Seb is very unwell and sadly dies. Rosalind then speaks out and talks to the school on Book Week about how she was Miss Nobody. I defo recommend it!

Loved following Rosalind through the story. There was a quite emotional part at the end but I won't give it away for people who haven't read the book. Would recommend! 10 out of 10!

I love this book as it is very emotional and has a great message behind it. I love Tamsin Winter.

This is an amazing book exploring the life of a child with SM. It is appealing to 9+ and is a really awesome read. I could not put it down and I am definitely going to read it again.

This book was absolutely amazing and it talked about loss and emotions. The saddest part when her brother dies is deep. I felt grateful for all I have after reading this book. Miss nobody had little and was still strong.

My third-favourite book is Being Miss Nobody because it is about a girl called Rosalind who has SM(selective mutism) which means she is ,in a way, too anxious to talk.So,when people at her new secondary school(Manor High) bully her,she doesn’t know what to do.When she can’t take it much longer, she creates a blog called Miss Nobody.This becomes a place where she can truly share her feelings about the bullies at Manor High.

A very good book, though it was sad and emotional. I would Recommend this to older readers because it is full of bullying and cruelty. This is an amazing book!

I liked the books but I didn't really have a favourite character. Its a very good book which teaches people about SM.

a book about finding your own voice

I think that Being Miss Nobody is a great book. It's about Rosalind Banks, who has a special condition that means she can't talk. This story is about how hard life is for Rosalind in high school, as she gets bullied for not being able to talk. Rosalind also has a little brother called Seb, who is extremely ill. In this book I love that just as that there is a glimmer of hope for Rosalind, her brother still has his ups and downs. Overall, I would recommend this book for anyone who loves reading about real- life-experiences from a different point of view.

This book is very effective. it is emotional and explains things clearly. It is also very easy to understand. I enjoyed reading this book and I couldn't put it down. it portrayed life differently from other people and had a moral of: 'Speak out when you believe something is not right.' 'Bullying is always wrong no matter who you are.' 'Stand up for your self.' It also shows that everyone has problems and obstacles that they can overcome and I love that. I recommend this book because it is a great role model, it helps you understand the importance of speaking out, believing in yourself, and trying your hardest.

I like the book because she has a brother called Seb and he is very ill and goes to the hospital everytime and miss nobody is a girl who can not speak and also her name is called Rosalind and has a bully called Masiey and she has lots of mean friends so what Miss Nobody did is that she started to blog and everyone loved her she also has a friend called Alisha.I think my best charachter is Rosaliand or if you want to called her Miss Nobody because I am quiet in class just like her and also has one friend.It interest me because the mood always changes.Yes I would recommed it to who is starting a new secordary school and is quiet and nervous.

Rosalind is a young girl who is about to begin secondary school. When she gets there, she finds it much harder than the other children because she has SM which means she can't talk in certain situations. She doesn't have any friends until a new girl starts at her school and she is asked to show her around. Soon Rosalind finds a new way to share her thoughts but her new blog doesn't turn out the way she had originally hoped. I LOVED THIS BOOK! This was another book that I had to read for school and it was amazing! My favourite character was Rosalind and I also found her brother really funny. I really think anyone will enjoy this book. Maybe, if you know anyone that has SM, this book could help you see life through their eyes. I think this book can make you more aware of why people may be acting differently to you. Remember, just because someone is different, doesn't mean you can't be friends with them and it is definitely not an excuse to bully someone. I really enjoyed this book and hope you do too.
