The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks cover

Lottie Brooks faces the trials of adolescence in The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks, navigating school, friendships, and self-acceptance with humor and heart.

In The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks, we meet the relatable and humorous Lottie, an 11¾-year-old girl facing the daunting transition to secondary school. With no friends by her side and a less-than-glamorous appearance, Lottie feels as though her life is already over. To make matters worse, she grapples with the awkward reality of being too flat-chested to wear a bra, leading her to contemplate hibernation alongside her beloved hamsters, Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.

As Lottie navigates the complexities of adolescence, readers are treated to a series of laugh-out-loud moments that capture the essence of growing up. This illustrated series is not just about the embarrassing moments; it’s also about the friendships that blossom and the challenges that come with them. With a delightful mix of humor and heart, Lottie’s journey resonates with pre-teens who can relate to her struggles and triumphs.

Written by the bestselling creator of Hurrah For Gin, this first installment in the Lottie Brooks series is perfect for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Dork Diaries. With relatable themes and a charming protagonist, The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks is a must-read for young readers eager to embrace the ups and downs of teenage life.
