Review

Cream of the Crop. Timmy Failure is back with the third book in this series. Timmy is a detective and his partner is a 1500 lb. polar bear named Total. Timmy is on academic probation and in order to get off probation he must submit a science report to his teacher called the Miracle Report. Though he hopes to work with his closest and smartest friend Rollo, he gets paired up with his least favorite person and also a detective Corrina Corrina. To top it off his mother loves to take care of people's animals and is dating his little league coach. Timmy is a fun and endearingly quirky character who is also forgiving and kind. He will appeal to kids who enjoy Big Nate, Dork Diaries, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. A great book for kids who are reluctant readers to identify with. This book would make a fun classroom need and is a fast paced with quirky pen and ink drawings. Both boys and girls will enjoy this book. Highly recommended for 4th-6th graders

Overall Book Score: excellent
