This book is hilarious. It is about a boy called Timmy Failure who is a rubbish detective. There is no main story, but lots of funny episodes from his life.
He has a business partner called Total. Total is a polar bear. Every time they get to the house that they are investigating, Total is always first there. The first thing he does every time is to jump in the bin and eat all the scraps of food. Timmy Failure's arch enemy is a girl called Corrina Corrina. They are at school together. Corrina Corrina is also a detective. Her dad is so rich that he buys her a whole house to do her detective work in. This drives Timmy crazy. Timmy Failure has many obstacles to ovecome, like these: 1. his mother
2. his school
3. his idiot best friend
4. his polar bear

The story is all written from Timmy's point of view, like a diary. There are also pictures, drawn by Timmy with funny captions.

This book made me laugh a lot. I love lines like "Shut your mouth, ye lover of raisins!'

I think children aged 5 – 10 would enjoy this book.
