Meet "detective" Timmy Failure, star of the kids’ comedy of the year. Created by New York Times best-selling cartoonist Stephan Pastis.
Take eleven-year-old Timmy Failure — the clueless, comically self-confident CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Add his impressively lazy business partner, a very large polar bear named Total. Throw in the Failuremobile — Timmy’s mom’s Segway — and what you have is Total Failure, Inc., a global enterprise destined to make Timmy so rich his mother won’t have to stress out about the bills anymore.

Of
course, Timmy’s plan does not include the four-foot-tall female whose
name shall not be uttered. And it doesn’t include Rollo Tookus, who is
so obsessed with getting into "Stanfurd" that he can’t carry out a
no-brainer spy mission. From the offbeat creator of Pearls Before Swine
comes an endearingly bumbling hero in a caper whose peerless hilarity
is accompanied by a whodunit twist. With perfectly paced visual humor,
Stephan Pastis gets you snorting with laughter, then slyly carries the
joke a beat further — or sweetens it with an unexpected poignant moment —
making this a comics-inspired story (the first in a new series) that
truly stands apart from the pack.
