The Fantastic Family Whipple by Matthew Ward
The Whipple family is known far and wide for having broken more world records than any other family on Earth. The only blight on the family name? Eleven-year-old Arthur. Unlike his twelve brothers and sisters, whose achievements range from "Most Accomplished Four-Year Old Painter" to "Most Creme Brulee Eaten in One Minute," Arthur hasn't won a single, solitary world record. But when the Whipples suffer a series of catastrophes - and the toughest competition of their lives from the Goldwins, another world-record-breaking family - Arthur might be the only one who can save his family from defeat...or worse.
"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
"One of the most fun listening experiences of the year." --Publishers Weekly on the audio edition, starred review
"First-time author Matthew Ward's constant parade of sight gags, stage business, and preposterous feats is highly entertaining." --Common Sense Media
"A rollicking, record-breaking romp, running rife with riotous ribaldry! And featuring even more r's than this quote!"--Robert Paul Weston, award-winning author of Zorgamazoo and The Creature Department
