Review
Timmy Failure returns in book two of the humorous chapter book series. Timmy, who fancies himself a world-class detective, is determined to win his school's detective contest. When he misses the deadline, Timmy will do anything to enter the contest in another school including getting kicked out of school so he can attend Glouberman Academy for "bad kids."? Reluctant readers will easily become hooked on this outrageous, slapstick story filled with polar bear sidekicks, a great aunt on roller skates, voodoo dolls and underwear jokes. Even though the characters are one-dimensional and the plot is thin, the book serves its purpose: to motivate kids to read and make readers laugh.
Overall Book Score: good
