“Ten-year-old Lotta loves to write and draw in her diary, and this
doodle-filled series starter begins with her first day of fifth
grade. She’s excited for the new school year, until she hears that
crabby Mrs. Crabbert will be her teacher; though, luckily, Lotta’s
best friend, Cheyenne, is in her class. Over the span of two weeks,
a lotta things happen to Lotta. These come in the form of everyday
disasters and mishaps that kids will find instantly entertaining.
For instance, her first-day-of-school family dinner at an Italian
restaurant takes an unsavory turn; her mother continues to
encourage Lotta to play the recorder by gifting her yet another of
the dreaded instrument; then Lotta decides she wants a pet (besides
her turtle, Webster), but her parents resoundingly say no.
Pantermüller’s Lotta books have been wildly popular in her native
Germany, and American readers will be smitten with the spunky
protagonist and her indefatigable scheming. Lotta’s escapades are
described and illustrated with theatrical flair and humor, making
this an enjoyable snapshot of tween life.” —Booklist
