He may be clueless, but the comically self-confident Timmy Failure is CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Now Timmy’s legion of fans are invited to set off on their own path to mastery with the help from Stephan Pastis. Added material includes step-by-step instructions on how to draw Timmy and his impressively lazy business partner, the polar bear Total—including a trick to making them both look a tiny bit nuts (hint: the secret is in the eyes). Even better, kids are invited to share the spotlight with Timmy by sending their drawings to his website, for a chance to be featured in the Timmy Failure Gallery of Greatness.

Timmy lives with his mother and his polar bear, Total, and is obsessed with his budding detective agency, Total Failure. (His last name is Failure.) He hopes to grow his business so that it makes a lot of money so that his mother can stop stressing about bills, but he is not getting many jobs since the evil Corinna Corinna is undercutting his business, aided by her father's vast wealth.
I would like to read Timmy Failure because I would like to see what happens to Timmy's lazy assistant and what mystery they will solve.
It was a funny book and all but it really sounds kind of out of order weird. I mean it was a good book but a polar bear for a pet and a polar bear in a zoo, it just really didn't make any sense what so ever to me.
This is a funny book about a boy named Timmy Failure, who is a detective, though he isn't bright. He is business partners with Total, a polar bear, and is friends with Rollo Tookus, a smart boy who wants to go to "Stanfurd" for college. Finally, there is Corrina Corrina, another detective.
