Katie Kirby

In the second installment of the bestselling Lottie Brooks series, discover the friendships fails, flirtation fumbles, and fashion faux paus of an 11 (and 3/4!) year-old-girl trying to survive her first year of middle school.

Bestselling author Katie Kirby captures the humorous and heartfelt antics of Lottie Brooks, an 11-year-old who is in for one long—and embarrassing—year if she can't learn to laugh at life's little mistakes.

Just when Lottie thought life might be going back to normal, everything goes wrong again! Amber’s hanging out with the Ultra Mean Girl Gang at school and is completely ignoring the Queens of Eight Green.

Daniel and Lottie finally have their first date. A trip to a fancy gelato in Brighton....

Lottie Brooks is back for spring term at secondary school and ready to face anything. No more trying to impress mean girl Amber. And absolutely no more being nicknamed Cucumber Girl.

Lottie Brooks is 11 ¾, and her life is already officially over - not only is she about to start high school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, she's just discovered she's too flat-chested to wear a bra....

Christmas is complete chaos this year! The whole Brooks family are visiting for the festive break, there's a Secret Santa to organise AND Lottie has to prepare for her big performance in the Christmas play as the back-end of a reindeer....

After a summer of meeting handsome French boys and getting a tiny bit sunburnt. OK, fine - a lot sunburnt, Lottie's heading off on a week-long residential school trip. A whole week away from embarrassing parents and Toby's tasty air biscuits! But the trip soon turns into a total disaster....

At long last Lottie and Daniel are an official couple and everything seems to be going super well (except for Amber being increasingly mean and jealous, but what's new there?).
