In the series finale, Timmy Failure and his class create a hilarious film about his life — just in time for the holidays.
Though I, Timmy Failure, have solved many notorious crimes and now wish to enjoy my retirement, my fans have begged me to turn my memoirs into a movie, an ode to my greatness. I am, however, beset by enemies, the worst of whom is Tom John John, the buffoonish movie director.
What’s more, my father is in town, working at a bar, which is obviously just a cover for our father-son crime-fighting partnership. And my dim-witted polar bear business partner, Total, wants to be reunited with his family. I should have known it would end like this. I expected more.

“The story will have readers crying with laughter, while the ending may well bring tears of a different kind. Totally great.” Andrea Reece, LoveReading, October Book of the Month
With its aptly comical graphic cartoon illustrations, sarcastic tone and some melodramatic yet sophisticated themes, this Timmy Failure novel takes ‘brazen’ to another level. However, taken at face value, an audience from around age nine would delight in its thrilling allure and endless amounts of personality. Reading Time
