Global fame. In this, the third volume of his memoirs, Timmy Failure will reveal how he will triumph over the curveballs of the gods: for starters, academic probation. The coveted Miracle Report is the key to everything, including a good grade. It's dirty business. It's best you know nothing. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Pastis's lovely balance of quirky cartooning and quick-moving text makes this an enjoyable, laugh-out-loud read. Highly recommended for kids who love Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes," Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," Lincoln Peirce's "Big Nate" Rachel Renée Russell's or "Dork Diaries." This book and the entire series are a perfect go-to for reluctant readers.<br>--School Library Journal <p/>Pastis' supporting cast of characters are ... effective narrative foils for [Timmy], rather than speechless bystanders to his quirkiness. ... [T]here are signs that, with the support of people who find him lovable in spite of himself, Timmy Failure will not live up to his name.<br>--Booklist <p/>There are several moments where Timmy is unironically sweet. Anyone familiar with the previous books in the series may be surprised at the genuine sentiment in a few scenes. There are actual hugs, and there's a deeply touching conversation with a very unlikely person. ... Timmy Failure is a classic antihero: Some readers will be drawn to the book because of him; others will be drawn to it in spite of him.<br>--Kirkus Reviews <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Stephan Pastis </b>is the creator of the <i>New York Times </i>bestseller <i>Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made </i>and its first sequel, <i>Timmy Failure: Now Look What You've Done, </i>as well as <i>Pearls Before Swine, </i>an acclaimed comic strip that appears in more than seven hundred newspapers and boasts a devoted following.
