Little Yearnings of Annabel by Alan Davidson, a kids/tween-level-looking wacky girl's slice-of-life adventure novel originally out from Penguin's Puffin imprint in 1989.
"Breaking a world record's the only hope I've got," announced Annabel. "It's the only answer."
But the answer to WHAT, exactly? wonders Kate.
After failing [in the first of these two long complete stories] to impress a visiting publisher with her poems at Mrs da Susa's very first Children's Book Fair but managing to help a fellow author whose books are considered past it -- though certainly not by Annabel -- she embarks on a series of increasingly desperate attempts to get into the Guinness Book of Records. And only she knows why.
