- Baker & Taylor
Resolving to earn money for his mother's bills, eleven-year-old Timmy launches a detective business with a lazy polar bear, but finds their enterprise challenged by a college-bound spy and a four-foot-tall girl whom Timmy refuses to acknowledge. - Random House, Inc.
âAn endearingly pathetic antihero with delusions of greatness. . . . Seldom has failure been so likable â or so funny.â â The Wall Street Journal
Take Timmy Failureâthe clueless, comically self-confident CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Add his impressively lazy business partner, a very large polar bear named Total, and what you have is Total Failure, Inc. From the offbeat creator of Pearls Before Swine comes an endearingly bumbling hero in a hilarious caper accompanied by a whodunit twist. With perfectly paced visual humor, Stephan Pastis gets readers snorting with laughter, then slyly carries the joke a beat furtherâor sweetens it with an unexpected poignant momentâmaking this a comics-inspired story that truly stands apart from the pack.
