In the third installment of the Lottie Brooks series, discover the crush calamities, friendship fumbles, and homework mishaps of an 11 (and 3/4) year old girl trying to survive her first year of middle school.
Dear Diary,
BIG, MEGA, SUPER-HUGE news! I, Lottie Brooks, your favorite sixth grader (probably) will be going on her VERY FIRST DATE! (I won't ruin the surprise and tell you who with.) There just One Little Problem. I don't know what happens on a date. Or what I should wear. Or what I should do if my date tries to kiss me! Or if I smell good. *sniffs* Actually, it turns out I have A LOT OF PROBLEMS!
Luckily, I always have my BFFs, Molly and Jess, by my side to cheer me on. Not to mention my pet hammies! Plus, mom likes to remind me there is more to life that boys. And I agree. There's also cheese paninis, slumber parties, braces (that one's not ideal), and bubble tea, and being the queens of sixth grade.
I may not be sure of everything, but I do know that with my besties, my families, and maybe even a bubble tea or two, I can survive anything—even a mega-complicated crush.
xx, Lottie
