The Suzy P series by Karen Saunders is laugh-out-loud, totally relatable and full of heart. Perfect for any fan of Dork Diaries, Lottie Brooks or Geek Girl books aged 9+.
Meet Suzy Puttock. She's fourteen and a TOTAL disaster magnet! Mishaps and cringe moments have a nasty habit of following her wherever she goes, but otherwise life's pretty normal. Throughout the books we join her as she breaks up with boyfriends, gets new ones, manages rifts in her friendship group and struggles to get her family's attention, all while navigating pretty hilarious situations thrown her way, like her sister wanting to put her in a lime green dress for her wedding, or accidentally promising a live band to the whole of her school cohort. Suzy truly tries her very best to navigate the perils of school, families and boys, and don't we all feel for her!
