• empathy,
• kindness,
• persistence,
• and the importance of being true to one's self.

Lottie Brooks ist völlig erledigt vom Erwachsenwerden. Die Schule ist echt kein Zuckerschlecken, wenn man bei jeder erstbesten Gelegenheit knallrot wird und täglich neue Spitznamen bekommt. Außerdem hat Lottie plötzlich so viele Fragen. Ist es okay, noch mit Häschenfiguren zu spielen? Warum ist sie der einzig vernünftige Mensch in ihrer Familie? Und braucht man wirklich schon einen BH? Lottie ist bereit, sich allem zu stellen: Schulpartys, der ersten Liebe und einigen (vielen) peinlichen Situationen. Zum Glück merkt sie am Ende immer, was wirklich wichtig ist. (Spoiler Alert: BFF mit den Mean Girls zu sein, gehört nicht dazu.)

The first book in the hilarious illustrated series for children by the bestselling author Katie Kirby. Perfect for readers aged 9-12 and for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid.

Lottie Brooks is 11 Ÿ and her life is ALREADY officially over.

Not only is she about to start secondary school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, but she's just discovered she's too flat-chested to even wear A BRA!

She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her hamsters, Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.

Lottie navigates the perils of growing up in this fantastically funny new illustrated series for pre-teens filled with friendship, embarrassing moments and, of course, KitKat Chunkys.

Readers LOVE Lottie Brooks:
My daughter couldn't put it down and read it in 2 days. Read at breakfast, walking downstairs, tea time, in the bath.
My 9-year-old daughter devoured it in two nights, and all I could hear from her was giggling and the occasional "Mum! Listen to this! This is SO me!".
My 12 year old reluctant reader took this book, read 100 pages in one night and proclaimed it 'the best book ever'
Katie has managed to capture the essence of what this group think and feel in a positive, life-affirming fashion'

HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO.

Look, I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . .

What could possibly go wrong?
