Review

In this fourth volume of Timmy Failure’s memoirs, Timmy is forced to hit the road in a cross-country trip that includes Timmy’s mom, Total the polar bear, Doorman Dave, and Molly Moskins. It’s a world gone mad, where good becomes bad, and Timmy Failure is a condemned man. Can Timmy redeem himself?

With wit and humor Pastis creates an adventure that will have readers turning the page. The plot is tightly written with just enough tension and laughs to maintain that wacky nature of the Timmy Failure series.

Students who enjoy Diary of a Wimpy Kid or My Life as a Book will enjoy the level of reading this book provides. The font is large with plenty of white space for eyes to rest . The spacing of the pen and ink drawings are also provided at just right intervals.

Overall Book Score: very good
