The Hook: Timmy Failure has his own detective agency and unravels several mysteries around the neighborhood.
Why I loved it: Voice and humor. If you want something like Wimpy Kid, this is it. Although the audience is much younger. Still, Timmy is quite funny. He's a detective who misses the obvious clue and the results are hilarious. I would recommend this to both boys and girls, definitely for reluctant readers who liked Wimpy Kid but it is younger middle grade (7-9 yr olds). Although my 11 yr old did read it, but only because it was in the house and I was raving about how funny it was.

Have you read any great graphic novels like Wimpy Kid? What are they? My 2nd and 4th graders want to know.
