I read Timmy Failure: We Meet Again, by Stephan Pastis. He's the same author who writes Pearls Before Swine comic strip which I also like. I've read all three of the Timmy Failure books so that should tell you that I really like them. And I just found out there's a number four so I'm going to read that too!
I like that the chapter names are funny. Timmy does both serious and ridiculous things: in this book, he was serious about not liking baseball (he couldn't see out from his baseball cap) and he was ridiculous because he has a polar bear for a business partner (they're a detective agency). There are TWO arch nemeses: Principal Scrimshaw and Corinna Corinna. Timmy lies a lot about not ever getting scared (but he's actually scared when he's in Camp Monkeychuck because he has to sleep in the bunk bed in the dark and he's afraid of the dark).
People who collect baseball cards would like THIS Timmy Failure book. If you like realistic books, this series is NOT for you. If you like crazy silly books, I think you'd like this series.
