Narrated in Lottie's hilariously honest, doodle-filled voice, these stories follow the everyday chaos of middle school friendship drama, family mishaps, and unexpected adventures. Readers who love Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates, or Dork Diaries will instantly connect with Lottie's relatable voice, and fans of the series will be thrilled to continue her story exactly where it left off, with plenty of fresh embarrassing moments and giggles along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatie Kirby's Lottie Brooks series has become a favorite among middle-grade readers for its diary-style format, doodled illustrations, and brutally funny observations on everyday school life. In this two-book set, Lottie faces two brand-new challenges. In Lottie Brooks vs The Ultra Mean Girl, Lottie's best friend Amber starts drifting toward a new, intimidating friendship group, leaving Lottie to navigate shifting social dynamics, a chaotic home life, and the horror of school vaccinations, all while scheming to win her best friend back. In The Seriously Epic Holiday of Lottie Brooks, the drama shifts from the classroom to the slopes as Lottie heads off on her first-ever skiing holiday with Amber's family. Having never set foot on a mountain before, Lottie must learn to ski, navigate new friendships away from home, and survive a string of embarrassing firsts, including her first taste of fondue. Both books keep Kirby's signature mix of warmth, wit, and relatable tween awkwardness front and center, told through diary entries, lists, and cartoon-style doodles that make the pages fly by. Reluctant readers in particular tend to respond well to the diary format and illustrations, which break up the text and make the books feel fast-paced and approachable. As a two-book bundle, this set offers great value for families wanting to continue the series in one go, whether for a child working through the whole collection or a new reader jumping in partway through Lottie's story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo full Lottie Brooks books in one convenient collection set, saving time hunting for individual titles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiary-style format with doodles and illustrations that appeal to reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelatable, funny storytelling perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge-appropriate humor covering real tween topics like friendship drama, family life, and first-time experiences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copies, ideal for building a home or classroom library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift option for birthdays, holidays, or back-to-school reading lists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLottie Brooks vs The Ultra Mean Girl (Book 8) — Lottie schemes to win back her best friend Amber from a new, intimidating friend group while juggling chaos at home.\u003cbr\u003eThe Seriously Epic Holiday of Lottie Brooks (Book 9) — Lottie heads on her first skiing holiday with Amber's family, learning to ski and surviving plenty of embarrassing firsts along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatie Kirby is a British author and illustrator best known for creating the Lottie Brooks series, a diary-style middle-grade series praised for its humor and relatable storytelling.
