Timmy Failure : The book you're not suppose to have by Stephan Pastis 

If you don’t already know, Timmy Failure is a detective. Probably the world’s greatest detective (or so he believes). But he’s been banned from detecting by none-other than his mother. So, what should a boy do? What if YOU were destined for greatness but your mother banned you from doing something before you can achieved it? What would YOU do? Would you stop? Hide under the bed? Lock yourself in the broom cupboard? Or would you believe that your destiny for greatness is far too important to give up and, therefore, work out a way to sneakily do it anyway? Well, as far as Timmy failure believes, there is only one thing to do. But it doesn’t go according to plan. So, this is the book he doesn’t want you to read. Why? Because good detectives solve cases, and this case will push him to breaking point. And beyond!

This book (and its brilliant drawings) is very, very funny. If you can read this book without laughing, there can be only two possible reasons: you are a Space Alien visiting Earth and you can only read your own species squiggly hieroglyphics writing, not English, or you don’t understand it because somebody has stolen your brain. Either way, not finding this book funny would be one mystery that not even Timmy Failure can solve.
