Danny Baker is a normal kid with a big ambition – he wants to be a record breaker. 

He thinks up all sorts of records that he reckons he can easily break. For example, he collects his bogies and makes them into a ball measuring 5.3cm in diameter – surely that’s a world record? He’s jealous of his dad, who holds a real record for saving goals in a football match, so is desperate to break some records for himself even if it’s for having the cheesiest feet. This book is nuttier than a bag of peanuts and made me laugh out loud!
