Lottie Brooks is 11 ¾ and her life is ALREADY officially over.

Not only is she about to start secondary school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, but she’s just discovered she’s too flat-chested to even wear A BRA!

She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her hamsters, Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.

Lottie navigates the perils of growing up in this fantastically funny new illustrated series for pre-teens filled with friendship, embarrassing moments and, of course, KitKat Chunkys.

The first book in the hilarious new series for children by the bestselling creator of Hurrah For Gin. Perfect for readers aged 9-12 and for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid.

Readers LOVE Lottie Brooks:
My daughter couldn’t put it down and read it in 2 days. Read at breakfast, walking downstairs, tea time, in the bath.
My 9-year-old daughter devoured it in two nights, and all I could hear from her was giggling and the occasional ""Mum! Listen to this! This is SO me!"".
My 12 year old reluctant reader took this book, read 100 pages in one night and proclaimed it ‘the best book ever’
Katie has managed to capture the essence of what this group think and feel in a positive, life-affirming fashion’

It was a very entertaining book with lots of drama and friendship complications. It is almost as if the book was preparing me for when I go to secondary school. I have already recommended it to my friends!

I enjoy it because it’s fun listening and reading about someone else’s life. I also like it because Lottie has really cool friends called Molly ,Poppy ,Amber and Jess. My favourite character is Molly. I would recommend it to people who like reading diaries.

If you are shy and creative I guess this book is recommended for you! I thought this book was one of the best book I've read.

I found this book very funny. As I am 12, I felt like I could relate to it. The storyline was great, I was reading this book every day and couldn't get enough of it. Lottie is a really funny character who is quite shy but is good to her friends. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone between the ages of 10 to 13. It is a great book, mostly for girls! :)

I couldn’t put this book down and read it in a couple of days. The character, Lottie Brooks, is really relatable and I enjoyed reading about her. I would really recommend this book for other girls age 9 plus.

I liked it as it was about starting high school. It taught me a lot about what it’s like to be older. It told me its ok to be different.
