4-6Timmy Failure series.
Self-proclaimed detective Timmy Failure is back for his sixth caper, this one on his mom's honeymoon in Key West, Florida. Her husband, Doorman Dave, brings along his nephew Emilio Empanada, who becomes Timmy's new "unpaid intern" sidekick. Timmy again employs absurd logic to solve mysteries, including finding treasure from an unlikely source: his absentee dad. Bubbly black-and-white illustrations add visual humor on nearly every page.
