(Review by: student)
This is the story of Lottie, whose real name is Charlotte. When Lottie receives her English coursework, she discovers that it is actually 'Extended Personal Writing'. She sets to work, and during her writing, she discovers all kinds of things, like the feel of jealousy and the truth about her own behaviour. Meanwhile, she tells us all about her job at Stole Mates, a shoe store that is stoked with hideous shoes, and Gareth Stingecombe, who she might just have a crush on. This is a light, laughable book about friendship, love and finding your true self.
About the author: Hayley Long was born in Ipswich in 1971. She wrote her first ever book when she was seven years old.

She is now teaches English and writes books.'Lottie Biggs is not Mad', the first in a series of books for young adults has now been translated into several different languages and has been awarded the White Raven label for ‘noteworthy and remarkable books’ by the International Youth Library in Munich.
