(Sorry not sorry!) But the trip soon turns into a total disaster. The other girls staying at the camp are MEGA-MEAN, best friend Jess is spending all her time with new girl Isha, and Lottie's diary gets stolen! She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her hamsters Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.My daughter couldn't put it down and read it in 2 days.

The Lottie Brooks books by Katie Kirby are hugely popular with preteen readers. This hilarious illustrated series explores the daily ups and downs of growing up, including facing puberty, navigating friendships, dealing with first crushes and all of the embarrassing moments that come with handling school and family life. Silná stránka tejto knihy sú rozhodne komiksy, resp kresbičky. Na viacerých som sa sama uchechtávala, dosť ich mám aj uložených v mobile. Proste, na jednej strane pobavia aj malého čitateľa, ale aj toho veľkého. Het verhaal leest als een trein, ik denk net zoals de gedachten van Lottie gaan. Lekker chaotisch en van de hak op de tak. Met veel humor en zelfspot vlieg je door het verhaal waarin we genieten van haar familie, crushes en BFF’s. De teksten hebben verschillende lettertypes en worden afgewisseld met leuke, eenvoudige illustraties. (de kleren moet je er zelf maar bij denken, want ik heb geen zin om die te tekenen- ik heb nog meer te doen, weet je wel) The book is primarily a tale about the pressures a young person feels as self-awareness, other people’s perception of you, and fitting in, becomes all-important. When she is caught by Charley, the most popular and prettiest girl, and the ‘influencer’ in school, rummaging through supermarket bins for perfectly good food, this is the lowest point in Laurie’s life. However, the ensuing conversation leads Charley to learn of Laurie’s ‘Beauty in the kitchen’ profile, where she promotes her natural skin-products she has made from fresh foods. These appear to be the perfect products to win the school’s enterprise competition and so Charley assumes Laurie’s co-operation and partnership, leaving Laurie to abandon her friends, who go it alone. A fortnight of compromising begins, all which places her on an uncomfortable and chaotic journey as she tries to keep pace with Charley and her manipulation, whilst losing out on her relationships with those that matter – her family and friends. Not only is she about to start high school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, she's just discovered she's too flat-chested to wear A BRA!

Reviews

Verder veel andere problemen, zoals broertjes, behas opvullen (arme meid), long distance met je beste vriendin praten, huiswerk, leuke jongens (en wil je echt voor die populaire gast gaan of toch voor die andere nog leukere en lieve jongen). Ik heb vaak lekker gelachen en ik vond het formaat (dagboek + meer) erg leuk gedaan. We’ve put together a list of ten similar books for fans of Lottie Brooks.Readers who love stories about real-life themes of family and friendships could try Ella on the Outsideor Invisible Emmie. Those looking for another preteen illustrated diary series like Lottie Brooks might like the easy-to-read Accidental Diary of B.U.G or the humorous gentle fantasy series Diary of an Accidental Witch. For children who enjoyed the compelling first-person voice of Lottie Brooks’ narrative and her positive energy in the face of the everyday challenges of life, we recommend Raina Telgemeier’s graphic novel Smile or the Front Desk series– both of which are popular favourites among the 9-12 age group.

Katie has managed to capture the essence of what this group think and feel in a positive, life-affirming fashion. Read more Look Inside DetailsHer growth through the book is huge and she ends her diary with the message that you shouldn't do anything you don't want to do just because someone tells you to and actually it's okay to just be you. Which I think every preteen (or tween as some in my class like to be referred as!) needs to hear. She openly discusses what her body is going through (or not going through) during puberty and comparing it to everyone else. From an adult point of view, I liked how her mum talked about it with her and celebrated her changing body and didn't make her feel like it was something to feel shameful about. We need more body positive talk!
