Synopsis

The prequel to the New York Times best-selling series that's soon to be a movie on Disney+!

"Timmy Failure is a winner!"-Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Timmy Failure is not just any detective-he is the greatest detective in his town, perhaps the nation. He is so famous that there have been seven books written about his life. Plus a movie. And so he has agreed to provide the world with his extraordinary origin story, as dictated to his biographer and best friend, Charles "Rollo" Tookus. New York Times best-selling author Stephan Pastis is back with the hilariously heartwarming tale of how it all started for our favorite clueless detective-including how he got that red scarf!

4 STARS!!! This was a freaking hilarious read and I did not expect to laugh so much during my read of this but I did and I loved it.

Goodreads review by Sarah on February 26, 2013

Ah, Timmy Failure. I'm a little confused about how I feel about this book. It's hysterical, well written, introduces some new vocabulary (to myself, in addition to the middle-grade readers this book is aimed at), and shows glimpses at more serious real-life issues (single motherhood, economical issu......more

Goodreads review by Betsy on January 30, 2013

Call it the attack of the syndicated cartoonists. For whatever reason, in the year 2013 we are seeing droves of escapees from the comic strip pages leaping from the burning remains of the newspaper industry into the slightly less volatile world of books for kids. How different could it be, right? As......more
