Reach for this book when your child feels like a fish out of water or struggles with the 'illogic' of the adult world. It is an ideal choice for kids who use humor as a defense mechanism or those navigating the complexities of a new blended family. The story follows Timmy Failure, a self proclaimed genius detective, as he travels to Key West for his mother's honeymoon while trying to solve a mystery involving a thieving cat. While the tone is hilariously absurd, it touches on deep themes of belonging and the anxiety of change. Timmy's deadpan delivery and unique perspective offer a safe space for neurodivergent or highly imaginative children to see themselves reflected. This sixth installment remains age appropriate for middle grade readers, providing a lighthearted yet resonant look at resilience and the importance of finding your own 'partner in crime' during life's transitions.
