Tells the story of Luke, a gifted but awkward ten-year-old who is obsessed with world records. When Luke’s village is in danger of being bulldozed to the ground to make way for a waste incinerator plant, the only way to stop it is by putting the village on the map: by breaking 50 world records in a week. This is Luke’s chance to shine.

I liked this book because it is about breaking records. I liked Simon best because he was the adjudicator. I would recommend it to someone else.

I liked this book because it was quite funny. I would have given it 5 stars except that it was a bit too silly for me. I would recommend this book for 6-7 year-olds.

This a fine book rated for 9+. A lot of mystery involved to crate suspense.

It has 74 different (mad) world records at the back! It goes very well with this year's theme.

I think you should read this book because it is very funny and you find out about the people from the village trying to save it. There were quite a lot of chapters ,there were a couple of pages in each chapter. i hope you will enjoy this book.
