The Majorly Awkward BFF Dramas of Lottie Brooks

Lottie Brooks #6

by Katie Kirby

From the number one bestselling author, this laugh-out-loud illustrated book is perfect for readers aged 9-12 and for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid.

Lottie Brooks is BACK and she's as BRILLIANT as ever!

At long last Lottie and Daniel are an official couple and everything seems to be going brilliantly (except for Amber being increasingly mean and jealous, but what's new there?).

Meanwhile Toby's new year's resolution is to get a dog, and for once Lottie and him see eye to eye. Pot Noodle, the cockapoo, becomes the newest member of the Brooks family. He's VERY cute but also not toilet trained AT ALL.

Lottie soon finds having a new boyfriend and a new dog means she has little time for anyone else, leaving her best friends pretty upset. How is Lottie meant to keep everybody happy and stop Pot Noodle from pooing on the carpet?!

Readers LOVE Lottie
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'

About the author

Katie Kirby is a writer and illustrator who lives by the sea in Hove with her husband, two sons and dog Sasha.

She has a degree in Advertising and Marketing and after spending several years working in London media agencies, which basically involved hanging out in fancy restaurants and pretending to know what she was talking about, she had some children and decided to start a blog called 'Hurrah for Gin' about the gross injustice of it all.

Many people said her sense of humour was silly and immature so she is now having a bash at writing children's fiction. The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks is her first novel.

Katie likes gin, rabbits, over-thinking things, the smell of launderettes and Monster Munch. She does not like losing at board games or writing about herself in the third person.

To mój najmniej ulubiony tom tej serii. Wszystko za sprawą Amber, która strasznie mnie zestresowała i przez połowę książki bolało mnie serce.

Serio. Mam 30 lat, a przeżywałam, że jedna 13-latka jest okropna dla drugiej. Pani Kirby, tak się nie robi.

I met Katie Kirby in a HeadRead festival and she is a lovely person, very kind and friendly. I was determined to read the last unread Lottie Brooks book before meeting her and I succeeded. It was yet another fun story with insane situations and crazy solutions. 😊
Lottie Brooks books generally are a comfort read for me and they make me feel happy. That's precious in our current world. 🥰 I am able to recognise myself both in Lottie, her friends and her parents. Never lose your inner child, it makes life more fun! 😄

Content warnings: bullying, poop, homophobia, coming out

Another hilarious instalment of the Lottie Brooks series. This one is, perhaps, a tad darker than the others because it deals with the changing nature of friendships during your early teenage years and that hideous feeling of always being the one who's left out and not knowing why or how to fix it. And even though I'm in my 40s, that hit HARD.

Amazing as always 💅
I hope I don't run into a person like Amber in secondary school...
But these Lottie Brooks books help me prepare for secondary school 🏫 🥳❤️

[Caitlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lottie got a dog but she had to look after dogs first to see if she was responsible enough but when she got her dog she called it pot Noodles and then it peed every where even though the person who was selling it said it was fully trained

[Hana Moncrieff · Rating 5 out of 5]

A amazing book by Katie I love it so much that it’s worth the money in fact it always is ! It’s full of very good moments and Pot noodle 🤣 he cracks me up! Though them to Hammies are my favourite! 🤩💋

What is going on in Ambers fashion filled head! 😡I mean are all these mega mean actions going to get her friends. ?!🤔I just don’t understand her! She has been through a whole lot this time,🫤but I mean when I am hurt I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HURT MY FRIEND’S FEELINGS AND TRY TO LEAVE HER TOTALLY FREINDLESS!!!!!!! Urgh. 🙄She makes me feel sick sometimes. 🤢

The way Jess acts makes me feel upset 😢 Amber is bringing stuff to her head and is pulling her away from Lottie and (very gladly)they make up and TQOEG understand what amber had done! 👍Just so you know, basically ALL the bestie problems lead to AMBER!!!!!!!! 😠

Daniel and Lottie are totally adorbs but in the book💋💋💋💋they are spending WAY TO MUCH time together!!! 😞🚫Well I guess that's the point, but BESTIES ALWAYS COME FIRST!!!!💅🏻❤️‍🔥(apart from family obvs) 💖And yes I DO think that sentence deserves capitals!💋💜#girlswinboysinthebin! #letsbefeminests #happydays! #girlsjustwannahavefun (sorry if thats a bit sexist 😬AKA first hashtag bit rude)


Great read Great cheese 🧀
