Being Miss Nobody by Tamsin Winter

Rosalind has selective mutism and can't talk in front of people or struggles so much she can perhaps only get a single word or two out instead. She is fine around her mum and dad but in school it has always marked her out as the weird one and gotten her bullied. However, she is a very bright girl who loves to read and play with her brother whom unfortunately has leukaemia.

After starting her new high school, she soon gets bullied by Connor, Maisy and others whom do and say despicable things to her as thwy know she won't fight back or speak up for herself.

This angers Rosalind and despite finding solace in hanging out in the library and helping with upcoming book events, she can also write in her notebook blog posts for her new blog she starts with Seb's help. Her blog is titled Miss Nobody as she is made to feel that way by the bullies. On there, she names and shames and gets students to stand up for the ones being picked on which eventually sees the bullies turn on each other too.

Throughout the last half of the novel, Aisla is a new student who gets paired with Rosalind and thankfully she helps stick up for Rosalind and she's kind and patient with her.

Seb worsens throughout the novel and we can guess what we expect to come for him in the story heartbreakingly as he had so much spirit and a warm character.

Being Miss Nobody was a great book and I really enjoyed it for the uniqueness of Rosalinds life situation and how she manages to cope with her SM and everything her family is going through, which is tough enough on anyone let alone Rosalind despite the bullies trying to cut her down some too from being ignorant to her struggle.

Tamsin is a great new author to watch for sure!
