Millicent Marie is not my name
From the Award Winning Author of the Nate Rocks Books: Twelve-year-old Millicent Marie does not like her name. After all, she was named for a woman who died more than fifty years ago and was not the most loveable member of the Harris family. Her friends call her Millie, but when she writes in her diary she refers to herself as Amanda - the name she always wished she had. When Millie's younger brother finds her diary on her computer, he decides to publish it as a blog for the entire world to see, including the boy Millie has a crush on. In the midst of all the mayhem, Millie/Amanda discovers she is suddenly Springside Elementary's most sought after sixth-grade mystery gossip and advice columnist. But not all is fun and games, as Millie quickly learns, once she realizes feelings are at stake. Nobody, least of all Millie, expects things to turn out as they do in this tale of friendship and respect.

When her younger brother posts her diary on a blog for the world to see Millie is distraught, after all it was her secret diary! As the emails start rolling in she realises that she is gaining popularity. She wants to fit in and so she carries on with the blog but things get out of control.
The book was great, highlighting the topics of what harm can be done through bullying and why people bully others.
I laughed was sad and every other emotion in between.
A brilliant book and will definitely be keeping this one for when my daughter is a bit older.
