From hilarious bestselling author, Katie Kirby, comes a brand-new Lottie Brooks story. This time it's CHRISTMAS!!!

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year, I would like:

Two hundred KitKat chunkies (full-size not multipack)
Baby Bella to stop shouting 'BUM' in public spaces
A new brother who doesn't fart on me and call it a 'tasty air biscuit'
Antoine or Daniel (I can't decide!) to surprise me on Christmas Day with a grand romantic gesture
Cash (lots of it!)
A new diary (I'm really getting through them!)

Lots of love,

Lottie xxx

PS. Please could you put a chocolate orange instead of a real orange in my stocking this year?

Lottie Brooks LOVES Christmas - there's presents, all the KitKat Chunkys you can eat AND no school for two weeks! But this year, Christmas might be a bit more chaotic than usual. The whole Brooks family are visiting for the festive break (along with some surprise visitors . . .), there's a Secret Santa to organise, and the hammies won't stop attacking Gavin, the Elf on the Shelf!

Will Lottie survive the festivities intact or will she have to hide in the fort of shame until it's all over?

Embark on a captivating journey across the diverse landscapes of South Africa, where two young bird enthusiasts, Nandipha and Andile set out on an unforgettable adventure. From the bustling metropolis of Johannesburg to the majestic peaks of the Drakensberg mountains, join the twins as they meet a colourful array of feathered friends, each revealing the cultural tapestry woven throughout the country. From the lightning bird of the Ndebele to the regal Blue Crane of the amaXhosa, every encounter teaches them valuable lessons about nature, culture, and the beauty of diversity. Join the twins on their journey as they discover that in celebrating the uniqueness of every bird they meet, they uncover the true essence of South Africa’s rich tapestry.

A touching picture book about resilience, identity, and familial love. Every morning when Ta’mkhulu helps Zinzo to shine his shoes, he reminds him that he has big shoes to fill. Zinzo wants to make his dads proud, even though they live far away in the city. His grandfather sets a great example by being kind and caring to everyone in the village. But when the children at school learn about Zinzo’s unconventional family they are not kind to him at all. Can Zinzo show them that being different is nothing to be afraid of? Big Shoes to Fill is a proudly South African book that encourages acceptance, understanding and kindness towards the LBGTQI+ community. This picture book is not only a tribute to the unbreakable bonds of family but also a celebration of the courage to stand tall in one’s own shoes. Also available in isiXhosa, isiZulu and Afrikaans.

Lottie Brooks is BACK and she's as BRILLIANT as ever!

At long last Lottie and Daniel are an official couple and everything seems to be going brilliantly (except for Amber being increasingly mean and jealous, but what's new there?).

Meanwhile Toby's new year's resolution is to get a dog, and for once Lottie and him see eye to eye. Pot Noodle, the cockapoo, becomes the newest member of the Brooks family. He's VERY cute but also not toilet trained AT ALL.

Lottie soon finds having a new boyfriend and a new dog means she has little time for anyone else, leaving her best friends pretty upset. How is Lottie meant to keep everybody happy and stop Pot Noodle from pooing on the carpet?!

Perfect for readers aged 9-12 and for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid.
