For the Record

Luke is a gifted but awkward ten-year-old who is obsessed with world records, and is nervous about starting senior school a year early as ''the swot with the dead dad''. When Luke''s tiny, unique Jersey 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.
With the help of geeky adjudicator Simon and a colourful cast of oddball village characters, this is Luke''s chance to shine, to solve his mum''s relationship problems, and to face his biggest fears - with bizarre, extraordinary consequences.
