The rivalry between the Whipples and the Goldwins escalates to an all-out war as the World Record World Championships draw near. When sinister clowns Overkill and Undercut cause a regulation game of hide-and-seek to go horrifically wrong, recordless Arthur Whipple and his unlikely ally, Ruby Goldwin, set out to catch the clowns’ mysterious boss, known only as “the Treasurer.” The young detectives follow the clues through darkened alleyways, dingy nightclubs, and the gothic halls of the World Record Archives, where they unravel the mystery of the Lyon’s Curse and the secrets of their fathers’ shared past. In the end, Arthur must fight to save his family as he struggles to earn his first world record and prove himself worthy of the Whipple name.

Matthew Ward
Though Matthew Ward was crowned back-to-back School Spelling-Bee Champion in the third and fourth grades, his childhood passed with little international distinction. He went on to study fine art and cinema at the University of Southern California, then fittingly became the art director of a cinematography magazine. After years of working with other people’s stories all day long, he set out to finally write a story of his own, inspired by decades of flipping through The Guinness Book of World Records. His first novel, The Fantastic Family Whipple, was published in 2013, followed by the sequel, War of the World Records, a year later. He currently lives in San Diego with his four record-attempting associates: his wife, Wendie, and their three sons: Henry, Miles, and Archer.
