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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 8-book Lottie Brooks paperback collection in one convenient set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHilarious diary-style format with comic illustrations on every page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelatable storylines about friendship, crushes, and school life for ages 9-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect gift for birthdays, holidays, or building a classroom library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for reluctant readers thanks to short chapters and fast-paced humor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages a love of reading through an ongoing, addictive series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks — Lottie starts secondary school with no best friend, the wrong pencil case, and a fresh nickname to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Catastrophic Friendship Fails of Lottie Brooks — Spring term brings a musical lead role, a mega-crush, and a friendship group on the verge of falling apart.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks — A family holiday to France brings sunburn, a new crush named Antoine, and plenty of awkward miscommunication.\u003cbr\u003e\nLottie Brooks's Totally Disastrous School-Trip — A week-long residential trip turns chaotic when mean campmates, a shifting friendship, and a stolen diary collide.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Completely Chaotic Christmas of Lottie Brooks — Lottie's holiday wish list and family festivities spiral into her most chaotic Christmas yet.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Majorly Awkward BFF Dramas of Lottie Brooks — A new puppy named Pot Noodle and a new boyfriend leave Lottie's best friends feeling seriously left out.\u003cbr\u003e\nLottie Brooks's Essential Guide to Life — Lottie shares her hard-won wisdom on school, friendship, and crushes, packed with activities and space to write your own diary.\u003cbr\u003e\nLottie Brooks vs The Ultra Mean Girls — Lottie hatches a plan to win back her best friend Amber from the clutches of the Ultra Mean Girl Gang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKatie Kirby is a bestselling British author and illustrator who lives near the sea with her husband, two sons, and dog.
