Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks

Sam's Review

Lottie Brooks is 11 and 3/4 and her life is officially over. In the first of Katie Kirby's very, very funny series, Lottie is facing the start of high school, the start of puberty and the start of all the awkwardness that goes with both. Her diary details the many embarrassing situations she encounters, the crushes that crush her, the challenges of holding onto your old friends while making new ones, and all the ways her parents and younger brother find to kill any sense of cool she may have painstakingly built up. This series became a word of mouth smash in the UK, with copies being passed around the playground as the LOL, BFF guide to growing up.  

Publisher's Review 

Louise Rennison for the Dork Diaries generation - hilarious, relatable and full of heart.

The first book in the hilarious new series for children by the bestselling creator of Hurrah For Gin.

Lottie Brooks is 11 and her life is already officially over - not only is she about to start high school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, she's just discovered she's too flat-chested to wear A BRA! She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her hamsters Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.

Lottie navigates the many perils of growing up in this fantastically funny new illustrated series for a 9-12 audience, filled with friendship, embarrassing moments and plenty of lols.
