- Book Synopsis
-
Lottie returns for a summer of mega-complicated feelings, with France, Instagram daydreaming and a first boyfriend all adding to the emotional overload. Katie Kirby mines the holiday setting brilliantly, using unfamiliar surroundings to heighten every social wobble and romantic misunderstanding.
The result is a funny, fast-moving read that understands how intense first crushes can feel when confidence is still in very short supply. It is a strong pick for readers who like their humour honest, expressive and full of chaotic energy.
Ideal for readers who:
- Follow Lottie Brooks as she navigates awkward holiday crushes and first-boyfriend confusion.
- Recognise how incredibly intense romantic misunderstandings and social worries feel at school age.
- Settle into a delightful summer comedy set in France, driven by diary entries and teenage energy.
- Respond to expressive, funny fiction that successfully turns awkward personal situations into narrative momentum.
- 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.
