Lottie Brooks is 11 ¾ 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 perils of growing up in this fantastically funny new illustrated series for pre-teens filled with friendship, embarrassing moments and, of course, KitKat Chunkys.

The first book in the hilarious new series for children by the bestselling creator of Hurrah For Gin. Perfect for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Dork Diaries.

Praise for Lottie Brooks

'As the mother of a ten year old hoodie gamer girl, it is a joy to see the screens off. No amount of coaxing about the utter joy of a book had worked before, but Katie has managed to capture what this group think and feel in a positive, gently parent-mocking, life-affirming fashion.' Becci, Amazon

'My daughter is 12 and I cannot get her to read. However, I bought her a copy of The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks . . . and she's hooked!' - Vickles, Mumsnet

"Ciao, mi chiamo Katie e questo è il mio libro. Non l'ho scritto per dirvi quello che dovete fare (non ne ho la più pallida idea), ma solo per condividere le nostre storie, perché spero che alcune vi facciano capire che non siete gli unici a combinare casini. Amo i miei figli, li amo DAVVERO, eppure vado fuori di testa quando il piccolo per gioco rovescia un'intera scatola di cereali sul pavimento o quando il grande si ostina a gironzolare per casa in calzini dopo che gli ho chiesto centrotrentasette volte di infilarsi quelle maledette scarpe. Questo non significa che li amo meno... significa solo che ho bisogno di un altro gin tonic." Un libro irriverente - ed estremamente onesto - che spiega come sopravvivere alla gravidanza e ai primi anni di vita dei figli, mostrando come sia possibile per un genitore amare con tutto il cuore i propri bimbi pur considerandoli, a volte, decisamente irritanti.

The hilarious new sequel to The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks by the bestselling creator of Hurrah for Gin.

Lottie Brooks is back for spring term at secondary school and ready to face anything. No more trying to impress mean girl Amber. And absolutely no more being nicknamed Cucumber Girl.

A lead role in the spring musical gives Lottie a chance to dazzle her mega-crush Daniel with her talent as a singing crab but it's not all singing and dancing at Kingswood High. Lottie's friendship with Molly and Jess seems to be falling apart no matter how hard she tries to keep her BFFs together.

Is Lottie on track for another epic friendship fail?

Lottie Brooks is BACK for more extremely embarrassing adventures as she goes on holiday and gets her very first boyfriend!

THINGS THAT ARE RUBBISH IN MY LIFE:
· Have the most disgusting little brother in the entire world
· Have to get braces when am on the brink of having my first kiss
· Mum is making cottage pie for dinner. VOM.

Finally summer has arrived and Lottie has BIG plans - scrolling through Instagram, dreaming about MEGA-crush Daniel and sunbathing by the pool on their family holiday to France.

Then Lottie meets new CRUSH Antoine. The language is a tiny bit of a barrier but does it matter when he's THAT good looking?

Readers LOVE Lottie Brooks:
My daughter couldn't put it down and read it in 2 days. Read at breakfast, walking downstairs, tea time, in the bath.
My 9-year-old daughter devoured it in two nights, and all I could hear from her was giggling and the occasional "Mum! Listen to this! This is SO me!".
My 12 year old reluctant reader took this book, read 100 pages in one night and proclaimed it 'the best book ever'
Katie has managed to capture the essence of what this group think and feel in a positive, life-affirming fashion.

From hilarious bestselling author, Katie Kirby, comes a brand-new Lottie Brooks story. This time it's CHRISTMAS!!!

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year, I would like:

Two hundred KitKat chunkies (full-size not multipack)
Baby Bella to not vomit on my presents like last year
A new brother who doesn't fart on me and call it a 'tasty air biscuit'
Antoine (the Handsome French Boy) to surprise me on Christmas day in the style of a Netflix rom-com
Sparkly eye-shadow
A new diary (I'm really getting through them!)

Lots of love,

Lottie Brooks

p.s Please could you put a chocolate orange instead of a real orange in my stocking this year?

Christmas is complete chaos this year! The whole Brooks family are visiting for the festive break, there's a Secret Santa to organise AND Lottie has to prepare for her big performance in the Christmas play as the back-end of a reindeer. Will she survive the festivities intact?

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

Woe is me. So much is wrong in my life...

Still look like a tomato
Am stuck indoors whilst my friends go bowling without me (rude)
My parents are leaving me to go out on a 'Date Night'. GROSS!

After a summer of meeting handsome French boys and getting a tiny bit sunburnt. OK, fine - a lot sunburnt, Lottie's heading off on a week-long residential school trip. A whole week away from embarrassing parents and Toby's tasty air biscuits!

But the trip soon turns into a total disaster. The other girls staying at the camp are MEGA-MEAN, best friend Jess is spending all her time with new girl Isha, and Lottie's diary gets stolen!

Who knew a school trip could cause so much DRAMA?!

Lottie Brooks is in her first year of secondary school, and not be dramatic, but her life is ALREADY over.

She's too flat chested to wear a bra, she doesn't have glamorous swooshy hair and she is expected to start her new school without any friends!

Lottie is de hilarische hoofdpersoon van een hilarische en hartverwarmende serie over de grote gevaren van het tienerleven. In dit tweede deel, 'Het rampzalige sociale leven van Lottie', schrijft Lottie in haar dagboek over vriendschap en verliefdheid, op de supergrappige en vlijmscherpe toon die we van haar gewend zijn. Net als 'Het extreem gênante leven van Lottie' zit 'Het rampzalige sociale leven van Lottie' vol herkenbare onzekerheden en ongemakkelijke situaties. Katie Kirby brengt met haar humor en illustraties moeiteloos over hoe het is om op te groeien. Haar boeken zitten vol met stripachtige doodles van Lotties hilarische leven.

Lottie is na de zomervakantie helemaal klaar voor het nieuwe schooljaar. Ze heeft de middelbare nu wel onder de knie, toch? Ze heeft twee vriendinnen, Jess en Molly, en ze gaat écht haar best niet meer doen om ervoor te zorgen dat Amber en Poppy haar cool vinden. Maar twee beste vriendinnen onderhouden blijkt best een hoop werk... En dan wil ze ook nog eens haar megacrush Daniel van zijn sokken blazen tijdens de schoolmusical. Wat moet ze doen? Zijn twee beste vriendinnen te veel voor één persoon?

La vita di Lotty Brooks è ufficialmente finita. Sfogliate queste pagine per sapere perché! Caro diario, mi chiamo Lotty Brooks e la mia vita è un completo DISASTRO. La mia migliore amica si è trasferita dall’altra parte del mondo e sto per iniziare le medie DA SOLA. I miei capelli avrebbero bisogno di un balayage e sono ancora troppo piatta per portare il reggiseno (forse lo resterò per sempre). Ma ho un PIANO per cambiare le cose e diventare la più popolare della scuola. Anche se, a dirti la verità, mi accontenterei di avere qualcuno con cui pranzare durante l’intervallo… Riuscirò a farmi delle nuove AMICHE con cui bere il Frappuccino? I miei genitori diventeranno mai un po’meno imbarazzanti? Ma soprattutto: alle ragazze delle medie è permesso amare gli unicorni? Continua a seguirmi per sapere come vanno a finire le mie mirabolanti (si fa per dire) avventure
