The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks by Katie Kirby, Puffin (Penguin UK), ISBN 9780241460887
REVIEWED BY CLEMENTINE, 9, NSW
The Lottie Brooks series is a funny, day-to-day diary written and illustrated by Katie Kirby.
Lottie is 11 years old going on to high school but doesn’t want to start without her best friend Molly because she moves to Australia. She is all alone. But shortly after she starts school she makes three best friends, Amber, Jess and Poppy.
At the start of the book she creates a plan so she can be popular by changing her look and personality. She gets involved with all the school drama and you won’t be ready for all the twists.
My favourite part of the book is when she first started high school and made her new friends. And when people give her funny nicknames.
I love this book because it is hilarious and entertaining. It made me laugh over and over again. It is great for ages 9–13.
The Lottie Brooks series is all about school drama, day to day life, best friends, sleepovers and most importantly extremely embarrassing moments that everyone has experienced.
