Lottie Brooks is eleven and three quarters and convinced her life is already over as secondary school looms. Katie Kirby uses that exaggerated sense of catastrophe brilliantly, building a story full of friendship worries, body-conscious panic and the kind of everyday humiliation that feels enormous at that age. The diary format and illustrations keep the pace lively, while details like Lottie’s hamsters give the book extra personality. It is an ideal choice for readers who like their school stories funny, candid and emotionally spot-on. Ideal for readers who: Reach for entertaining secondary-school stories packed with diary humour and plenty of mortifying moments. Recognise the classic strain of friendship worries, family chaos and the daily drama of trying to fit in. Appreciate pre-teen comedies that treat relatively small humiliations as genuinely catastrophic events. Respond well to illustrated, fast-moving books delivered with a wonderfully candid comic voice.

Lottie is back for spring term and determined to move past old humiliations, but Kingswood High is still a minefield. A role in the school musical offers the chance to impress her crush, yet the bigger problem is closer to home as her friendships with Molly and Jess begin to wobble.

Readers who loved the first book will find the same comic voice here, sharpened by more social complication. Ideal for readers who: Adore witty middle-grade diary fiction focused on friendship fallouts and secondary school survival. Want to follow Lottie as she navigates complex dynamics with Molly and Jess, awkward crushes and a school musical. Recognise the emotional minefield of school life, wobbling friendships and intense public embarrassment. Appreciate illustrated comedies where pre-teen panic feels beautifully honest, fast-paced and genuinely funny.
