These are some of the important questions raised in this book. How far is too far when taking matters into your own hands?Īnd ,is relying on social media an effective way to solve your problems or does it only add to them? What happens when the moral police becomes an accessory to bullying? Thus, begins a journey of vigilante justice and bully-shaming ,but soon things spiral out of control and Miss Nobody seems to be at the centre of it all. Her outrage against the bullies inspires her to start an anonymous blog with the help of her brother Seb, called “Miss Nobody”. This makes her a social pariah at her new school (Manor High) and she gets bullied -not just verbally but physically as well. She strives to be “normal” so she can stop being “Officially Weird”- but that’s not an easy thing to do,considering she can’t speak in front of people (whenever she builds up the nerve to do so, her words disappear completely or become a “Massive Muddle” in her head and she can’t seem to make herself speak). Rosalind Banks is eleven and suffers from Selective Mutism. “……unfortunately words aren’t magic….Words can’t make Actual Miracles happen.Sometimes words just don’t do anything at all.Sometimes they don’t even matter.”
