carolineinthelibrary's review against another edition
5.0
I could write a whole book about what I love about this book. It's so sweet and so relatable, especially if you love books more than people. Lotti is shy and struggles to make friends - she'd prefer to stay in the worlds her books take her to. One day she learns books can be a bonding tool with other people and a whole new world opens up to her.
I loved Lotti's little quips that were separate of the main text. I think for readers who don't want to spend too much time in the book, you could just read the main text and be able to get something out of the story, but she's too funny not to read all of her asides. I also LOVE that the book recommends more books across all age ranges. It was so fun to look at the illustrations and see which books I've read, which ones I haven't read in a long time, and which ones I needed to add to my TBR. The books were also so diverse and thoughtfully placed throughout. I also loved that Lotti didn't just read in her age group, but brings home books from the "teen" area and specifically mentions she could never be too old for picture books (same, Lotti). This is just a flawless book for any book lover or shy kids who might not know yet how to connect with other kids.
