The Whipples are champions at over-the-top world records--all except Arthur, and no one lets him forget it. But when the family chef is framed for a near-murderous--though record-setting--cake, it's up to Arthur to find the real culprit. The unresolved ending points to a sequel, but hilarious back matter from the "World Record Archives" should keep readers occupied in the meantime.
