Review

Timmy is in Key West with his mother and Doorman Dave who may or may not be married but are on their honeymoon, and Dave's nephew Emilio. As usual, mysteries flock to Timmy. He enlists Emilio to help him and also has a lazy polar bear assistant. Chapter titles are riffs on Hemingway titles and old songs. Timmy is pretty clueless about a lot of things. Lots of black and white drawings accompany the text. Fans of the series will like this new addition and look for more to come.

Overall Book Score: good
