Ten-year-old Teddy Mars tries to set himself apart from his six siblings by breaking a world record. A hilarious and heartwarming new series by a debut author who mixes the best of Jeff Kinney and Sharon Creech! Teddy's Top Tips for Record-Breaking: 1. Hide from your family by living in a tent in the backyard. 2. Take a job tending Grumpy Pigeon Man's pigeons. 3. Get sprayed by a skunk and pooped on by a pigeon (or three!) 4. Crack eggs over your own head, stuff your mouth with grapes, and slather yourself in peanut butter. 5. Lock up The Destructor! Ten-year-old Teddy Mars has a big dream-to make it into THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS. And he won't let anything stand in his way, not his five (FIVE!) older sisters, not his teacher who thinks he's easily distracted, and definitely not his little brother, Jake, a.k.a. THE DESTRUCTOR. With the help of his best friends, Lonnie and Viva, Teddy is (almost) sure to succeed. But can he make his dream come true? Full of heart-melting family love, friendships to last lifetimes, and tons of belly laughs, Teddy Mars will have middle-graders clamoring to shine and break records of their own.
