  • "With the world mourning over President Kennedy's assassination and his family reeling from the death of his baby sister, Jack decides that setting a world record will help his family heal."
  • "The tumultuous year of 1963 is one of problems both personal and broader for young Jack. His baby sister has only recently died, and his parents haven't been able to function since then. The only thing Jack thinks he can do to help them is to start setting world records--for anything. However, with the assassination of the president, anything Jack does is unnoticed--until his friend suggests he start listening to music."
  • "It's 1963, and Jack's family is still reeling from the SIDS death of his baby sister. Adrift in his own life, Jack is convinced that setting a world record will bring his father back to his senses and his mother back to life. But world events, including President Kennedy's assassination, threaten to overshadow any record Jack tries to beat'from sausage eating to face slapping. Nothing works, and Jack is about to give up when a new friend suggests a different approach that involves listening to, not breaking, records."@en
