The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks

Lottie Brooks returns for an even more hilariously awkward adventure, now featuring her first-ever boyfriend! Her life's nuisances seem endless: an incredibly annoying little brother, the dread of getting braces just as she's about to experience her first kiss, and her mum cooking her dreaded cottage pie for dinner.Summer finally arrives, and Lottie has grand visions of scrolling through Instagram, fantasizing about her huge crush, Daniel, and basking in the sun by the poolside during the family trip to France. While on vacation, she encounters a new heartthrob, Antoine. Despite a slight language barrier, his good looks make communication almost irrelevant.Readers have fallen in love with Lottie Brooks, noting how their daughters couldn't put the book down. One finished it in just two days, reading at every opportunity — during breakfast, on the stairs, at dinner, and even in the bath. Another nine-year-old laughed her way through it in two nights, exclaiming how relatable it was. Even a typically reluctant 12-year-old reader devoured 100 pages in one evening, declaring it the best book ever. Katie brilliantly encapsulates the thoughts and feelings of this age group with positivity and affirmation.
