Secondary School Gives Lottie Brooks Maximum Mortification

- Book Synopsis
-
Lottie Brooks is eleven and three quarters and convinced her life is already over as secondary school looms. Katie Kirby uses that exaggerated sense of catastrophe brilliantly, building a story full of friendship worries, body-conscious panic and the kind of everyday humiliation that feels enormous at that age.
The diary format and illustrations keep the pace lively, while details like Lottie’s hamsters give the book extra personality. It is an ideal choice for readers who like their school stories funny, candid and emotionally spot-on.
Ideal for readers who:
- Reach for entertaining secondary-school stories packed with diary humour and plenty of mortifying moments.
- Recognise the classic strain of friendship worries, family chaos and the daily drama of trying to fit in.
- Appreciate pre-teen comedies that treat relatively small humiliations as genuinely catastrophic events.
- Respond well to illustrated, fast-moving books delivered with a wonderfully candid comic voice.
- 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.
