Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made by Stephan Pastis

4.0

A silly, absurd, and funny story about a kid whose life pretty much mirrors his name, Failure. He does poorly at school, isn't exactly a good friend, and is about the worst "detective" you could ask for, although he believes his detective agency, "Total Failure, Inc." is destined to make millions, which will help his struggling mom pay the bills.. The characters are fun, including his friend Rollo Tuckus, the dreaded Corinna Corinna, and of course his 1500lb polar bear business partner, Total. The illustrations add to the humor throughout the story. There is some vocabulary that may challenge young readers, but I think this would be a good choice for grades 3-5. Kids who like the Big Nate and Diary of a Wimpy Kid books will be fans of this series.
