The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks is a delightful exploration of the trials and tribulations faced by an eleven-and-three-quarter-year-old girl navigating the often tumultuous waters of secondary school. Written by Katie Kirby, this engaging tale resonates with readers who have experienced the awkwardness of adolescence.
Lottie Brooks is a relatable character, grappling with insecurities about her appearance, particularly her struggle with being too flat-chested to wear a bra. As she embarks on her new school journey, Lottie finds herself without the comfort of friends, leading to a series of humorous yet painfully relatable situations. Her trusty hamsters, Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third, provide a light-hearted escape from her everyday dilemmas.
Kirby’s writing style is engaging and witty, making complex emotions accessible and relatable for young readers. The book's humour provides a comforting lens through which to view the challenges of adolescence, making it an excellent choice for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging or Dork Diaries.
Who it's for: For readers aged 9–12, especially those about to start secondary school. Lottie, 11¾, is starting with no friends, and her funny, illustrated diary covers friendship, growing up and embarrassing moments. The first book in the series, for fans of Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid.
