About the Books
Katie Kirby's Lottie Brooks series kicks off with The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks, introducing an eleven-and-three-quarter-year-old narrator whose diary chronicles her nerve-wracking first term at secondary school without a single friend by her side. In The Catastrophic Friendship Fails of Lottie Brooks, spring term brings fractured loyalties, a mean-girl rival, and the pressure to fit in, all while Lottie tries to stay true to herself. The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks ramps up the awkwardness as Lottie faces her first real brush with romance, complete with misread signals and the terrifying business of admitting real feelings. In Lottie Brooks's Totally Disastrous School-Trip, she's away from home for the first time, navigating packing disasters, homesickness, and unexpected moments of friendship. Finally, The Completely Chaotic Christmas of Lottie Brooks wraps up the collection in festive mayhem, as school events, family quirks, and holiday expectations push Lottie to improvise, apologize, and lean on the people she loves most. Told entirely through Lottie's distinctive diary-entry voice and filled with doodles, lists, and asides, the books balance sharp comic timing with genuine emotional honesty about growing up. Recurring characters, including Lottie's hamsters, her loyal friends, and her endearingly chaotic family, thread through every installment, giving the series a comforting, binge-friendly continuity. Readers who love stories about friendship, resilience, first crushes, and the everyday humiliations of pre-teen life will find plenty to enjoy across all five books, making it ideal for classroom libraries, summer reading, or a rainy-day binge.
