With the help of her dying younger brother, Seb, she creates a blog to fight back on behalf of all the nobodies at Manor High, giving a voice to all the unheard pupils in the school. Labelled as painfully shy, pin balled from therapist to therapist and on the receiving end of bullies taunts and ridicules daily-she classes herself as a nobody, insignificant and invisible. Basically a throwback to cliques of geeks and cool kids but in order to be classed as cool, this meant getting detentions, knowing little, disrupting classes and thriving on belittling others.įor one pupil- Rosalind- this is exemplified as she suffers from select mutism (SM), she has so much she wants to say, wants to fit in desperately but the words get stuck, anxiety rises and renders her speechless. Bullies lying in wake to torment unsuspecting pupils, who it would seem would not hurt a fly: those in the school choir/band, library monitors and chess club members. I was quite shocked when I read this book, Manor High School sounded like a nightmare gone bad.
