Engaging first-person narration, ample drama and bizarre actual world records. Fans of world-record quests will savour Teddys efforts. (Kirkus Reviews)A highly entertaining debut. Delightfully rambunctious b&w sketches elevate the comedy, while Teddys hard-nosed perseverance with the aid of friends new and old, takes world record-making to hilarious new heights. (Publishers Weekly)This heartwarming story starts the Teddy Mars series on a hilarious foot, tracing one boys struggle to stand out in a big family, one failed record-breaking attempt after another. Once thewreckage is cleared, whats left is a loving family that celebrates one another for exactly who they are. (Booklist)Teddy is so amiable and put-upon, hell find plenty of fans wholl want to read more in the promised series. The books format, with monthly chapters divided into smaller subchapters, makes this a good choice for reading logs, and the report Teddy has to do on pigeons makes this book an ideal pairing with a nonfiction title on these urban birds. (School Library Journal)Theres a lot to love here: a quirky family, an eccentric next door neighbour, best friends, and a dream come true. (Literary Daily)
