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

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year, I would

Two hundred KitKat chunkies (full-size not multipack)

Baby Bella to not vomit on my presents like last year

A new brother who doesn't fart on me and call it a 'tasty air biscuit'

Antoine (the Handsome French Boy) to surprise me on Christmas day in the style of a Netflix rom-com

Sparkly eye-shadow

A new diary (I'm really getting through them!)

Lots of love,

Lottie Brooks

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

Christmas is complete chaos this year! The whole Brooks family are visiting for the festive break, there's a Secret Santa to organise AND Lottie has to prepare for her big performance in the Christmas play as the back-end of a reindeer. Will she survive the festivities intact?

About the Author

Katie Kirby is a number one best-selling 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 now writes children's books.

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.

Katie’s relatable, hilarious and accessible LOTTIE BROOKS series for tween readers has been shortlisted for the British Book Awards and Laugh Out Loud Book Awards, and titles from the series frequently appear in the favourites lists from the What Kids Are Reading Reports. The series has now sold over 1,000,000 copies in the UK in just four years.
