Timmy Failure

Timmy failure is an 11-year-old boy who is obsessed with the detective world and owns the company Failure inc. his name was once spelled Fayleure, but somebody changed it. he says he's a genius (when in reality he isn't) and does not have a lot of expertise. Timmy is the narrator of all the books, as well as the main character and he has great difficulty in making friends. timmy always wears a red scarf, known personally as his 'distinctive red scarf'. he also has an administrative assistant named Total. Total failure is an overweight polar bear whos only interest is to eat hot dogs and Bonbons all day.

No 1. Mistakes Were Made
in this first book, a good chunk is dedicated to the introduction of the characters, and I'm not going into details about that. Besides that, here's a brief summary:

the book starts in November-ish time, and Timmy goes on the first case of the series: the Gunner candy case. his neighbor and classmate, Gunner, has lost all of his Halloween candy. timmy remarks he's been getting a lot of those kinds of cases. his choice of transportation is his mother's Segway (which he is not allowed to use). after he tells Gunner his form of payment, he immediately leaves. as he goes by, he sees gunner's younger brother, Gabe, chomping down gunner's candy. timmy is oblivious to that and writes on his notepad: 'Gabe: not tidy'.

three days later, Timmy decides to interrogate Gabe, upon his friend Rollo"s request. after the extremely honest discussion (Gabe admits he's eating candy), Timmy decides that he has Alibi. sometime the following week, we see Timmy talking about Corrina Corrina, his nemesis, more and decides to wait to pummel her on the curb in a giant sumo-suit for the whole day, and for no obvious reason.

the following day, old man crocus, Timmy failure's teacher, assigns Timmy to work with 3 other students: Rollo(friend), molly Moskins(enemy), and Corrina Corrina(biggest enemy). Timmy is obviously unexcited and states his opinion. timmy is unhappy, but for some reason, molly is happy. this is the first sign that molly likes Timmy right there.

the next case is for another neighbor, Max Hodges, on a dead hamster. he claims his hamster mysteriously died in the night while he was sleeping. once again, with no clear evidence found, Timmy leaves only to find his Segway stolen.
