Lottie Brooks’s Twelve Disasters of Christmas

The Queens of Eight Green get their turn in the spotlight this Christmas.

Reading guide

It works as a standalone festive read, but it follows the Lottie Brooks Christmas story, so fans will get the most out of it if they already know the Queens of Eight Green.

Four short stories follow Amber, Molly, Poppy and Jess through the festive season. Each one focuses on a different friend, from Christmas Day dinner to New Year's Eve and a family rescue.

Description

Lottie has had her moment, so this festive short story collection belongs to her friends. Katie Kirby follows Amber, Molly, Poppy and Jess through the holiday season, from what Amber eats on Christmas Day to what goes wrong for Poppy on New Year's Eve and how Jess rescues her family.

The stories sit alongside the Lottie Brooks Christmas story that followed the Brooks family, and they carry the same warm, giggly honesty about friendship and growing up that has made the series so popular. Readers who already love the Queens of Eight Green will feel at home, and the short stories are easy to dip into between festive jobs.
