Synopsis

Today we brainstormed strategies to #GETAMBERBACK. Our top ideas are:

  • Send her flowers
  • Hypnotise her
  • Kidnap her
  • Tell everyone she smells like lasagne
  • Emotionally blackmail her by making a BFF photo montage
Just when Lottie thought life might be going back to normal, everything goes wrong again! Amber’s hanging out with the Ultra Mean Girl Gang at school and is completely ignoring the Queens of Eight Green. Mum’s gone back to work and expects Lottie to ‘help around the house more’, Bella keeps biting everyone and Pot Noodle will not stop sniffing every dog’s bum. DISASTER!

Now Lottie has to come up with a foolproof plan to get Amber back before her friendship group is destroyed forever. What could go wrong???

Join Lottie as she battles the mean girls, takes on school injections (apparently they can go through your arm!) and even more extremely embarrassing moments.

Katie Kirby is a writer and illustrator who lives by the sea in Hove with her husband, two sons and dog Sasha.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.Many people said her sense of humour was silly and immature so she is now having a bash at writing children's fiction. The Reinvention of Lottie Brooks is her first novel.Katie likes gin, rabbits, over-thinking things, the smell of launderettes and Monster Munch. She does not like losing at board games or writing about herself in the third person.
