Lottie Brooks is in her first year of secondary school, and not be dramatic, but her life is ALREADY over.
She's too flat chested to wear a bra, she doesn't have glamorous swooshy hair and she is expected to start her new school without any friends!
Dive into the boxset of Lottie's first two books:
The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks
Lottie is 11 ¾ and about to start secondary school- though she'd rather go into hibernation with her hamsters, Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.
Join Lottie as she navigates the perils of growing up in her fantastically funny story of friendships, embarrassing moments and KitKat Chunkys.
The Catastrophic Friendship Fails of Lottie Brooks
Lottie's back for spring term, and ready to face anything. And also is determined to no longer be known as Cucumber Girl.
She plans to kick start the new term by impressing her mega-crush Daniel in the school musical as a singing crab. But as friendship woes take over her life, it looks like school isn't going to be as easy as she hoped.
Praise for Lottie Brooks
'As the mother of a ten year old hoodie gamer girl, it is a joy to see the screens off. No amount of coaxing about the utter joy of a book had worked before, but Katie has managed to capture what this group think and feel in a positive, gently parent-mocking, life-affirming fashion.' Becci, Amazon
'My daughter is 12 and I cannot get her to read. However, I bought her a copy of The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks . . . and she's hooked!' - Vickles, Mumsnet

'Hi guys!
I bet every one of you knows what it's like to have an embarrassing parent - right? I bet they've done something so cringey that you wanted the ground to open up and swallow you whole. But let me tell you, my friend, NOBODY has a dad like mine. He takes embarrassing to a whole new level. If embarrassing was an Olympic sport, my dad would have, like, a gazillion gold medals.'
This hilarious story will have instant appeal to a YouTube-watching generation and is told through a series of vlogs. Combining Ben Davis's brilliantly-funny voice and Mike Lowery's amazingly-amazing illustrations is sure to make this a hit with readers everywhere. After all, everyone knows what it's like to have an embarrassing parent, don't they?
