Overview
Escape into the gloriously chaotic world of Lottie Brooks with this complete seven-book paperback collection by author and illustrator Katie Kirby. Told in a warm, diary-style voice full of doodles, lists, and laugh-out-loud confessions, the series follows eleven-year-old Lottie as she stumbles through the everyday drama of friendship, family, first crushes, school trips, and holidays. Fans of witty, relatable middle-grade fiction will recognize the sharp, self-deprecating humor that made Kirby's writing a hit with tweens. Every misstep becomes material for a giggle, and every awkward moment ends in warmth and hard-won confidence.

About the Books
Katie Kirby built the Lottie Brooks series around a simple, powerful idea: growing up is embarrassing, and that is completely okay. Across all seven books, eleven-year-old Lottie narrates her own life in diary form, complete with scribbled asides, ranked lists, and confessions that will feel instantly familiar to any reader who has ever cringed at their own reflection. The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks opens the series by introducing Lottie's world of well-meaning but mortifying parents, unpredictable best friends, and the constant sense that disaster is one wrong move away. From there, the collection follows her through friendship fallouts, confusing crushes, a catastrophic school trip, a chaotic Christmas, BFF drama, and finally a tongue-in-cheek "essential guide" to surviving it all. Kirby's background as an illustrator and comic creator shines through in the visual, list-heavy format, which keeps pages turning even for reluctant readers. What sets this series apart is its emotional honesty tucked inside the comedy: Lottie's mistakes are real, her feelings are real, and her resilience is what makes readers root for her book after book. This complete set is an ideal way to experience the character's full arc in order, watching her grow more confident and self-aware with every catastrophe survived. It's a funny, big-hearted collection that captures exactly what it feels like to be eleven and figuring life out one embarrassing moment at a time.
