Lottie Brooks's Totally Disastrous School Trip

Lottie Brooks continues to navigate the many dangers of growing up in this fantastic, humorous illustrated series for readers aged 9 to 12, filled with friendship, embarrassing moments, and plenty of laughs. Woe is me. So much is wrong in my life. I still look like a tomato. I'm stuck indoors while my friends go bowling without me. My parents are leaving me alone for a date night. After a summer of meeting cute French boys and getting a little sunburned – okay, a lot sunburned – Lottie is off on a week-long class trip. A whole week away from embarrassing parents and Toby's delicious air cookies!

But the trip soon turns into a total disaster. The other girls at camp are super mean, best friend Jess is spending all her time with the new girl Isha, and Lottie's diary gets stolen! Who would have thought a class trip could cause so much drama?

Readers love Lottie Brooks: "My daughter couldn't put it down and read it in two days. She read at breakfast, while going up the stairs, at tea time, and in the bath." "My 9-year-old daughter devoured it in two nights, and all I heard from her was giggling and occasionally 'Mom! Listen to this! That's so me!'" "My 12-year-old reluctant reader picked up this book, read 100 pages in one night, and declared it the 'best book ever.'" Katie has managed to capture the essence of what this group thinks and feels in a positive, life-affirming way.
