A boy named Gunnar hires the pair to find out what happened to his missing Halloween candy. We first see Timmy and his partner, the aforementioned polar bear, bumble the simplest of cases. Timmy goes to great lengths to tell us what a great detective he is, but Pastis’ charming illustrations tell a different story. It is also his life story, which, has had a few road blocks-including an “idiot best friend” and a 1,500-pound polar bear-that make his accomplishments all the more impressive. Stephan Pastis, creator of the “Pearls Before Swine” comic strip, ventures into the world of children’s books with Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made, bringing middle-grade readers a hilarious, multi-layered story.Īs Timmy tells it, readers hold in their hands the most valuable compendium of knowledge about detective work ever written. The character, Timmy Failure, may live up to his name, but the book of the same title is anything but a disappointment.
