The Completely Chaotic Christmas of Lottie Brooks

The Completely Chaotic Christmas of Lottie Brooks marks the fifth hilarious installment in Katie Kirby’s Lottie Brooks series. In this holiday-themed juvenile fiction novel, Lottie navigates her family’s festive gathering, complete with surprise visitors, a chaotic Secret Santa, and her hamster’s ongoing war with the Elf on the Shelf. Lottie adores Christmas for the KitKat Chunkies and a two-week break from school, but this year tests her adolescence and coming-of-age patience as Baby Bella yells inappropriate words and her brother’s flatulence becomes a ‘tasty air biscuit.’

She dreams of a grand romantic gesture from her crushes Antoine or Daniel, cash galore, and a chocolate-filled stocking. Amid the humor and heart, Lottie must survive the holidays without retreating to her fort of shame. This humorous story blends family, friendship, and Christmas traditions with adolescent social themes, making it an engaging holiday read for middle-grade readers.
