Unfortunately, unlike his siblings, Arthur hasn't broken a single, solitary world record! But when the Whipples suffer a spate of catastrophes and a curious amount of attention from a pair of irregularly sized and unusually menacing clowns, Arthur might be the only one who can save his family from losing their collective crown . . . or worse.

“This inspired tale has an equally as inspired narrator at the helm, and the result is a wonderful listening experience that offers plenty of fun for both young and old. Narrator Crossley delivers a tour de force performance that captures the otherworldly quality of Ward’s novel. Crossley nails the book’s odd characters and lends them each distinctive voices. One of the most fun listening experiences of the year.”
