The idea for a book of records started in 1950, when Sir Hugh Beaver, Managing Director of the Guinness Brewery attended a shooting party and had an argument with fellow guests about what game bird was the fastest. Not being able to find the answer in any reference book and with the idea of creating a book to settle all pub arguments, the Guinness Book of World Records was published in 1954. Fast forward 70+ years it has long since been a bestseller and one of the most recognised and trusted book brands in the world.

Titles in This Set: 1. Stunt Boy 2. Megastar 3. Action Hero Description : Stunt Boy But Fin soon realises it's not a normal kind of diary - it can change the past! So when Fin writes what he SHOULD have done that day (rather than what actually happened) what he SHOULD have done is what everyone remembers. To start with, it's great! By changing what he did, Fin stands up to the school bully and ends up winning the school talent show. But he gets into lots of scrapes while he works out exactly what the diary is capable of changing and what it's not. And even then things backfire - so Fin falls out with his best friend and ends up at a Charlie Dimples concert with a load of six-year-old girls listening to 'My Swishy Wishy'! Can Fin control the diary, or will it control him? Megastar Fin has promised never to use his diary again. A little old lady gave it to him at a funfair and it turned out to be magic - it let him change what happened during the day as long as he made a wish that evening. But it was more trouble than it was worth and got him into all sorts of scrapes at school and at home. But he needs help. A newish boy, Cliff Sharpnel, is stepping on his toes. Not only does he play the guitar, but he's interested in Claudia Ronson - the most beautiful girl at school. When their teacher, Mrs Johnson, announces that she has written a musical called HOT RODS Fin thinks he's too cool to audition. Until he discovers that the hero gets to kiss the girl at the end - mostly likely to be Claudia - and that Cliff has put himself up for the part! Fin has some serious backtracking to do. The diary HAS to come out again. And in his fight to become the Oscar-winning megastar Fin has to scramble to 'do' and 'undo' the havoc that ensues . . . Action Hero Fin Spencer is in BIG trouble. He upset Mrs Johnson, and now he's not going on the class trip. But he has to, after all he's a born action hero! Stevie Knuckles Action Camp is where Fin belongs. So it's time to use the diary again - if he can just tweak what happened today, he'll be on his way to fame, fortune and fearlessness once again. But the diary has a naughty habit of backfiring . . . Can Fin turn things around before he officially becomes an 'Action Zero'? Another laugh-out-loud 'Fincredible' adventure written by rising star Ciaran Murtagh with comic illustrations by Tim Wesson. The Fincredible Diary of Fin Spencer is a hilarious 3 book collection from Ciaran Murtagh. With fun illustrations from Tim Wesson, this series follows Fin Spencer, a boy who would never think about writing in a diary. But when he receives one from a fortune teller he soon learns that we can change his past to whatever he writes inside the diary. Join Fin as he changes his history to make himself look....Fincredible. This set is ideal for children aged 5-7 and fans of Ciaran Murtagh titles such as Charlie Flint and the Dinos and Balthazar the Genie.
