Bestselling author Katie Kirby captures the humorous and heart-felt antics of Lottie Brooks, an 11-year-old who is in for one long--and embarrassing--year if she can't learn to laugh at life's little mistakes.
A Warning to Future Readers:
Hi, I'm Lottie Brooks! I'm 11 (and 3/4) years old and this is my diary. Before you read, though, you should be warned. This book is going to include mortifying moments like bra shopping with your mom and your seven-year-old brother, showing up to class with cereal in your hair, watching your dad sing horrible karaoke, standing awkwardly at your first school dance, and so many more humiliating occurrences.
Turn away now if you’d rather not read about such excruciating experiences. It would be entirely understandable and highly recommended!

About the Author
Katie Kirby is a writer and illustrator who lives by the sea in Hove with her husband, two sons and dog Sasha. After spending several years working in London media agencies, she had some children and decided to start a blog called "Hurrah for Gin" which soon became a bestselling book. The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks was her first novel for kids, and there are currently five books in the series. Like Lottie, Katie loves talking nonsense and often embarasses herself in public.
