Bawiła mnie choć nie zawsze, bo żarty czasami są na poziomie 10-12 lat ale przecież o to chodzi. Ta grupa jest targetem I enjoyed this book more than you could imagine. I found it EXTREMELY funny but also EXTREMELY relatable because Lottie’s life could probably relate to a lot of 12 yo girls now!!!!!” Verder veel andere problemen, zoals broertjes, behas opvullen (arme meid), long distance met je beste vriendin praten, huiswerk, leuke jongens (en wil je echt voor die populaire gast gaan of toch voor die andere nog leukere en lieve jongen). Ik heb vaak lekker gelachen en ik vond het formaat (dagboek + meer) erg leuk gedaan.

The pacing was brilliant - it wasn't too slow or repetitive, and it had just enough action to make it exciting and realistic. Yes this is a children’s/YA book but one that reminds me of similar books I use to read myself as a child. It is set in diary format with plenty of drawings and doodles throughout. This is book two and I didn’t read book one but it still read fine as a Standalone. Parts had me laughing out loud. In this story we meet Lottie through her diary and everything is included. I mean everything. The character of Lottie is so relatable too. I know I'm years away from my own childhood but my memories are pretty strong. I know all too well the realities of so called 'popular girls' (although in my school it was actually both the girls and the boys who were equally mean) making fun of me for the slightest thing. And although this is a humorous book that had me laughing out loud in some places, there were also some emotional moments where Lottie is crying in bed. Het volgende boek in de Lottie serie en het was weer goed om te lezen. Ditmaal vriendschap (en vervelende mensen die Amber heten en op moeten rotten), toneel (zo leuk dat ze dat stuk gingen spelen), ongesteldheid en puberdingen, Daniel en Dan the Man (waar ik zo om heb gelachen en ook zo Lottie aangemoedigd om naar Daniel te stappen), familie (ik vond het wel jammer dat moeder zo weinig leek te geven om haar dochter, gelukkig veranderde dat later, of iets in ieder geval) en nog eens familie (want er is een nieuwe baby in het gezin! Bella! En ze huilt graag XD). En dan is er nog veel meer dat er in Lotties leven gaat gebeuren. Soms een tikje frustrerend, maar vaak ook herkenbaar.So obviously, being in my 30s, I'm not the intended audience for the story of Lottie but I feel working in a primary school, especially in a year 6 class, gives me some insights into their mind. And I want to start this review by saying I think all year six girls should read this book before going to senior school. The message of this book is so important and I really think that age group need to hear it. She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her hamsters Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.

She has a degree in Advertising and Marketing and after spending several years working in London media agencies, which basically involved hanging out in fancy restaurants and pretending to know what she was talking about, she had some children and decided to start a blog called 'Hurrah for Gin' about the gross injustice of it all. My daughter couldn't put it down and read it in 2 days. Read at breakfast, walking downstairs, tea time, in the bath. We understand that buying kids books can be expensive. That's why we offer a wide range of box sets and series at affordable prices, making it easier for parents, teachers, and libraries to access quality books for children.A lead role in the spring musical gives Lottie a chance to dazzle her mega-crush Daniel with her talent as a singing crab but it's not all singing and dancing at Kingswood High. Lottie's friendship with Molly and Jess seems to be falling apart no matter how hard she tries to keep her BFFs together. 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!". Katie has managed to capture the essence of what this group think and feel in a positive, life-affirming fashion. •
