About the Book

Chet Gecko doesn't believe in the supernatural. His idea of voodoo is his mom's cockroach ripple ice cream. But when a teacher reports seeing a monster by the light of a full moon, it falls to Chet and his sleek-winged partner, Natalie Attired, to answer the burning question: Is this the work of a vicious, supernatural werehamster on the loose? Or just another science fair project gone wrong?

Critical Praise

Raves for Chet Gecko
The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse "Zesty and entertaining."--The Bulletin

The Mystery of Mr. Nice
"Hold on to your fedoras: this gecko's going places."--Kirkus Reviews
Farewell, My Lunchbag

"Fodder for budding criminologists and stand-up comedians. . . . Sassy."--School Library Journal

The Big Nap
"Fast-paced suspense and snappy dialogue. . . . A choice series for reluctant readers."--Booklist

The Hamster of the Baskervilles
"The zany text reads like a mixture of stand-up comedy, Raymond Chandler mysteries, old films, and a fourth grader on an overdose of sugar."--School Library Journal
