Clueless detective Timmy Failure is back on the case in his latest book, Now Look What You’ve Done.
He doesn t like to pull rank. To reveal that he s this guy: Timmy Failure, founder, president, and CEO of the greatest detective agency in town, perhaps the nation. But he is. And he s about to crack the biggest case of his generation: a school competition to find a stolen globe. It s his ticket to bringing home a $500 prize, which is guaranteed to set him up for life. But someone is clearly trying to game the system. Hoodwink. Con. Defraud. So it s up to Timmy Failure, with the dubious help of Total, his lazy polar-bear partner, and his unlikely new ally, eccentric Great Aunt Colander, to find a way to avenge these shenanigans. Defeat this injustice. If he can only get his entry form in on time.

Timmy’s latest shenanigans have everything I loved about the first book, but even sillier. There’s more Molly Moskins, more Total (Timmy’s 1500 pound polar bear partner), more Corrina Corrina (aka The Wedgie or The Weevil Bun), but there are also hilarious new characters, like Timmy’s Great-Aunt Colander (inventor of the Boom-Boom Shoe Wheel). Stephan’s cartoons are hilarious and add extra humour to the text. I love the way that they capture Timmy’s somewhat strange outlook on the world.
The thing I love the most about the Timmy Failure books is the language that Timmy uses. He sounds like a hard-boiled detective, even when he’s talking to his mum. Kids who read these books will certainly increase their vocabulary.
Timmy Failure: Now Look What You’ve Done is perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Big Nate. It has been kid-tested and passed with flying colours. I read both of the Timmy Failure books to my 10 year old boys and they absolutely love them. I often hear them quoting things from the books.
