Overview
Meet Lottie Brooks, the hilariously honest diary-keeper every tween reader instantly recognizes in themselves. This eight-book paperback collection follows Lottie through starting secondary school, surviving friendship dramas, navigating first crushes, and stumbling through school trips and chaotic Christmases. Written and illustrated by bestselling author Katie Kirby, each book pairs laugh-out-loud comic doodles with a warm, relatable voice. Perfect for fans of Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid, this set makes an ideal gift for readers aged 9 to 12 who love funny, illustrated, diary-style stories about growing up and the messy business of being a preteen.

About the Books
The Lottie Brooks series charts the wonderfully chaotic life of an 11 (and 3/4) year old girl as she navigates the rollercoaster of preteen life. It begins with Lottie starting secondary school with no friends, the wrong pencil case, and a serious lack of bra-wearing status, and grows from there into a full, laugh-out-loud world of friendship fails, disastrous school trips, complicated crushes, and family chaos. Told entirely through Lottie's diary entries and packed with Katie Kirby's signature comic illustrations, the books capture the exact mix of hilarity and heartbreak that comes with being a tween. Readers follow Lottie season by season through the school year, holidays, and Christmas, watching her friendships with Molly, Jess, Amber, and Poppy evolve, her crushes come and go, and her confidence slowly grow even as everything around her seems to go wrong. The later books in the set, including her Essential Guide to Life, bring readers even closer into Lottie's world with activities, advice, and extra laughs straight from the diary itself. Across all eight books, the tone stays consistently funny, warm, and honest, never talking down to its audience, which is exactly why the series has become such a favorite with reluctant readers and bookworms alike. Whether read straight through or dipped into title by title, this collection offers a complete, satisfying journey through one of the most relatable middle-grade heroines in recent years, making it a brilliant way to get preteens hooked on reading for pleasure.
