Giveaway #495 : Win a trio of Timmy Failure books - closed - winner Sheena Read


"Meet Timmy Failure, founder of the "best" detective agency in town - Total Failure, Inc. With the help of his polar bear, Total, the clueless, comically self-confident Timmy already has plans for world domination. Plans that will make his mother rich and unpaid bills a thing of the past. And plans that will defeat Corrina Corrina, "The One Whose Name Shall Not Be Uttered". But she's not going away. Riotously funny, Timmy Failure is sure to have readers in stitches."


I shared my review of the first two Timmy Failure books earlier in the week - we loved the silliness of the situations he gets himself into, his total failure to see the things that are staring him in the face and the oodles of illustrations that break up the text, making it the perfect series for beginner or reluctant readers.



The publishers have kindly offered to send a set of the first three Timmy Failure books to one lucky Madhouse Family Reviews reader. Fill in your entries in the Rafflecopter widget below.


a Rafflecopter giveaway

UK only. Closing date : 1/8/15

T & C's : Entries close at midnight on the closing date. Winners will be selected with a random number generator and announced on facebook, twitter and in the giveaway post subject line. Please note, you will be contacted by email and/or twitter and if I haven't heard from you after a week, I'll have to pick another winner. Prizes will be sent out by the companies or their PR directly to winners. Madhouse Family Reviews cannot be held responsible for any prizes that go astray !

    I like to try different crafts and having seen some hammered spoons & cutlery made into plant inserts I tried to have a go. Unfortunately the spoon was so hard I could only make a slight dent in it when the intention was to get it flat. At least I tried.

    Years ago, while taking a motorbike driving test, I was told to do a figure-of-8 around a housing estate but I managed to get lost and found myself on an A road heading for Northampton. By sheer luck I found my way back to the examiner, stood in the pouring rain, awarding me a big Fail!

    My biggest failure this week happens to have taken place yesterday, when I decided to take my 2 girls out for the day on a train whilst my husband was in work. After successfully purchasing tickets and finding the right platform, the train arrives and on we get. Ten minutes into the journey we discover we had got on the wrong train and were headed in the totally wrong direction!
