Mistakes Were Made

I read this last week in my attempt to hurry up and read a whole bunch of chapter books before the summer so that I can spiffy up my RA. I feel I must begin with a disclaimer: I really, really dislike the Wimpy Kid books. Timmy Failure is written in a similar style (heavy on illustrations). The difference? Timmy Failure is laugh out loud hysterical. I read it in my living room and everyone kept telling me to shush because I was laughing so hard they couldn't hear the TV.
Timmy and his business partner a polar bear, Total run Total Failure Detective Agency. Timmy happens to be one of the worst detectives I have ever read. The support characters are also funny. What I loved was the side story of Timmy's mom, who is single, and her new love interest.
Great read, highly recommended and now I am armed with a title for kids who have already finished the Wimpy Kid and Big Nate series.
