The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks

My daughter started reading the series at 10.5 and absolutely loves them. Lottie is very funny! She reads them out loud to me each night and I am laughing too. It also gives us plenty of conversation starters/opportunities to chat about friendships and how to treat each other etc. The only thing I find a bit cringey is the portrayel of the mom and drinking all the time. We aren’t teetotalers but don’t think kids books need to portray relying on alcohol as a coping mechanism etc. Just feels odd having it in the book in this day and age and thought it should be flagged in case others are sensitive to that kind of thing.

ma fille est contente pour le livre, quelques heures de lecture en prévision

I bought The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks for my kids, and it was a huge hit! The book is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and relatable scenarios that perfectly capture the ups and downs of growing up. Lottie’s adventures are both funny and heartfelt, making it a story that resonates with young readers. The writing style is engaging and easy to follow, and the illustrations add an extra layer of fun. My kids couldn’t put it down and were excited to share their favorite parts with me. It’s a fantastic book for encouraging a love of reading while also exploring important themes like friendship and self-confidence. Highly recommend for tweens or any child who enjoys funny, diary-style books!

Tween would LOVE this

Absolutely brilliant! The first book my 9 year old has ever willingly sat and read, she now has the whole collection and she loves them. Laugh out loud parts and relatable, age appropriate content.
