Synopsis

Have you ever seen how many hot dogs you could eat in one minute? Or how long you could go without sleeping? Is your greatest goal to be in The Guinness Book of World Records?Then join Arthur Whipple and his fantastic family of world record breakers as they engage in the greatest competition of their lives.'Echoes of Roald Dahl . . . A genuinely fun and comically ludicrous romp, clearly worthy of most world records outside of a world records book.' Publishers Weekly'There's humor and mayhem, and red herrings and nefarious suspects abound.'School Library Journal
