The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lotte Brooks

The first book in the hilarious new series for children by the bestselling creator of Hurrah For Gin.

Lottie Brooks is 11 and her life is already officially over - not only is she about to start high school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, she's just discovered she's too flat-chested to wear A BRA!

She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her hamsters Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.

Lottie navigates the many perils of growing up in this fantastically funny new illustrated series for a 9-12 audience, filled with friendship, embarrassing moments and plenty of lols.

Mumma Chelles Review

Katie Kirby perfectly captures the rollercoaster ride of growing up in this laugh-out-loud and deeply relatable story. Through Lottie’s honest, awkward, and often hilarious experiences, readers are reminded that everyone feels a bit unsure at times — and that’s completely okay.

It’s a brilliant read for tweens navigating the ups and downs of friendships, body changes, and finding their voice. Beneath the humour is a gentle message about self-acceptance, resilience, and the importance of staying true to who you are.

A wonderful choice for readers aged 9–13 — and for parents who’ll recognise a little of their own childhood awkwardness in Lottie’s world!
