The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks (Lottie Brooks, Book 1)

Book 1: The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks by Katie Kirby (Lottie Brooks, Book 1)

Lottie Brooks is eleven and three-quarters, and her life is officially over. She's about to start secondary school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, and she's just discovered she's too flat-chested to even wear a bra. Surely hibernation with her hamsters, Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third, is the only sensible option? But Lottie soon discovers that growing up is far messier, funnier and more unpredictable than she ever imagined. With her signature blend of cringe-worthy family moments, friendship disasters and laugh-out-loud observations, Katie Kirby captures perfectly the bewildering experience of being young—where embarrassment feels permanent but friendship feels essential.

From the first page, readers find themselves in Lottie's world: a place where mortifying moments become the best stories, where family chaos is the norm, and where being yourself—even if you're awkward, flat-chested and slightly obsessed with KitKat Chunkys—is ultimately what matters. Packed with genuine emotion beneath the comedy and an authentic voice that resonates with readers, The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks celebrates the beautiful chaos of growing up. Perfect for readers aged 9–12 and fans of relatable, funny coming-of-age stories.
