any Book That Begins, History Class Crept By Like A Slug On Ice, Is Bound To Appeal To Kids. This Addition To The Chet Gecko Mystery Series Is No Exception. When Chet, The Best Lizard Detective At Emerson Hicky Elementary School, Tries To Learn Why Principal Zero Is Suddenly Nice, He Discovers A Dastardly Plot Afoot. Using All The Swagger And Lingo Of A Sam Spade Wanna-be, Chet And His Mockingbird Assistant, Natalie Attired, Deliver Intrigue And Hilarity. Some Of The Humor May Be Too Sophisticated For Young Readers (art Gecko For Instance), But There Are Dozens Of Puns And Jokes, Both Corny And Clever, That They Will Get. The Similes Are Fresh And Kid-funny--chet's Heart Beating Like A Hyperactive Octopus With A Drum Set, Or Faces Turning As Purple As A Grape Stomper's Underwear.
