- Book Synopsis
-
Ideal for readers who:
- Love illustrated school stories full of friendship fallouts and near disasters
- Enjoy heroines navigating crushes, musicals and mean-girl politics
- Are drawn to books where comedy sits alongside real social anxiety
- Want a fast, funny read with strong diary-style personality
Lottie is back for spring term and determined to move past old humiliations, but Kingswood High is still a minefield. A role in the school musical offers the chance to impress her crush, yet the bigger problem is closer to home as her friendships with Molly and Jess begin to wobble.
Katie Kirby keeps the humour broad and accessible, but she is equally good on the panic of trying to hold a friendship group together. Readers who loved the first book will find the same comic voice here, sharpened by more social complication.
- About The Author
- Katie Kirby is a number one best-selling 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 now writes children's books. 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. Katie's relatable, hilarious and accessible LOTTIE BROOKS series for tween readers has been shortlisted for the British Book Awards and Laugh Out Loud Book Awards, and titles from the series frequently appear in the favourites lists from the What Kids Are Reading Reports. The series has now sold over 1,000,000 copies in the UK in just four years.
