10-year-old girl breaks world record of longest-written novel after publishing a 58,000 words book
Hephzibah Akinwale, a 10-year-old girl, published a book that is 58,000 words long, breaking the world record for the longest-written novel.
“Chronicles of the Time Keepers – Whisked Away” is a middle-grade fiction book written by Hephzibah Akinwale, a teenager from East Cambridgeshire who attends Little Thetford C of E Primary School in the United Kingdom.
The fiction book The Chronicles of the Time Keepers – Whisked Away is 58,000 words long. Hephzibah, the protagonist of the book, has enigmatic dreams that are so lifelike that they appear to be a part of her regular existence.
By surpassing 11-year-old Manikya Sanghi, the multiple award-winning author of “Wizard of Sansanadia,” who held the record for the longest fiction novel written by a kid, with 44,000 words, Hephzibah broke the International Book of Records.
In addition to shattering the record for the longest fiction book ever written, she also established a new benchmark for aspirational young writers everywhere. Chika Akinwale, Hephzibah’s mother, thinks that more kids would be encouraged to follow their artistic passions by her daughter’s achievements.
