Lottie Brooks continues to navigate the many perils of growing up in this fantastically funny illustrated series for a 9-12 audience, filled with friendship, embarrassing moments & plenty of lols. Woe is me. So much is wrong in my life… Still look like a tomato Am stuck indoors whilst my friends go bowling without me (rude) My parents are leaving me to go out on a ‘ Date Night’. GROSS! After a summer of meeting handsome French boys & 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 & Toby’s tasty air biscuits! But the trip soon turns into a total disaster. The other girls staying at the camp are MEGA-MEAN, best friend Jess is spending all her time with new girl Isha, & Lottie’s diary gets stolen! Who knew a school trip could cause so much DRAMA?! Readers LOVE Lottie Brooks: My daughter couldn’t put it down & 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, & all I could hear from her was giggling & 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 & proclaimed it ‘the best book ever’ Katie has managed to capture the essence of what this group think & feel in a positive, life-affirming fashion.
