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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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
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.
