In the series finale, Timmy retires from detective work. When Timmy uses a class assignment to chronicle his memoirs on film, he finds himself with a new nemesis: the movie's precocious director, (transfer student) Tom John John. Comical pen-and-ink illustrations highlight Timmy's interactions with familiar characters, most notably his polar bear sidekick and his estranged father. Longtime fans won't be disappointed by the conclusion--it's bittersweet and just right.
