It’s an exciting day at school and Nusaiba can’t wait! However, her excitement only lasts a short time. At school, she hears rude insults about her mum. She feels very saddened and angry.
She needs to decide if she’ll stand up for her mum to face those bullies, or if she’ll stay shy and quiet.

This story was such a beautiful story about bravery. Nusaiba is truly a brave girl who finds the courage to speak against bullying. Nusaiba’s faith and character reminds me of the story of Nusayba bint Ka’b (RA) when she stood up for the Prophet (PBUH) and defended him during the battle of Uhud.

I love the book because my name is also Nusayba just like the main character.

Since it’s anti bullying week, this story would be a great read!

My rating: 5 / 5
