Synopsis

"A winning new book about losing." --Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Modern Family meets The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl in this humorous and heartfelt story about a boy desperately trying to break a world record and ultimately discovering what winning really means along the way.
Twelve-year-old Milo Moss has been on a mission to achieve his family's lifelong goal: breaking a world record. It's why he and his parents, along with thousands of others, are standing in the middle of a football stadium dressed as human-sized cockroaches.

But when the record attempt doesn't exactly go as planned, Milo and his family are failures once again. Now more than ever, Milo needs support from his best friend, Jesse (who also happens to be his nephew -- don't ask, it's complicated). But when Jesse discovers the truth about Milo's record attempt, he pressures him to come clean to the whole school.

Desperate to avoid public humiliation, Milo must team up with an unlikely ally to stop the record madness once and for all. Will Milo be able to leave behind his dream of breaking a record? Or will he learn that sometimes there's more to life than winning?
"Hilarious and bursting with hijinks from beginning to end." --Stacy McAnulty, author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl

This book asks a very important question about life: Is reaching your goals the most important part or is half the fun in getting there? Milo Moss and his parents have been trying their hardest to earn a Guinness world record to no avail. And that’s not for the lack of trying. But when one attempt g......more

I loved it! It is hilarious and so well put together from the first page (that first chapter is particularly gripping and sure to catch the attention of even the most reluctant reader). I'm looking forward to whatever Allbright comes up with next. Milo Moss is Officially Amazing.......more

Milo has not found success with his goal of breaking a Guinness Record, even though he and his family sure do make some unique attempts. This lighthearted story is perfect for middle grade readers, and it will give them "food for thought" as to what makes a winner.......more
