1. The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse (2000) – Chet Gecko loves a good mystery. Almost more than he loves his fee–stinkbug pie. So when fellow fourth grader Shirley Chameleon asks him to find her missing brother, Billy, Chet expects the case to be as easy as pie. But Billy’s disappearance is part of a larger plot, one that involves the Rat Sisters, a riddling junkyard dog, and a vicious Gila monster named Herman. If Chet doesn’t solve the case fast, the entire school could be humiliated. Worst of all, Chet might not get his fee. And Chet’s hungry. . . . •The first book in a zany new series that combines mystery with humor •A hip, character-based story and amusing illustrations in a fun format for middle grade readers
2. The Mystery of Mr. Nice (2000) – Most folks know him as the best lizard detective at Emerson Hicky Elementary, but it’s not all knuckles and know-how with Chet Gecko. He’s also got his artistic side.
If it wasn’t for his art, he might never have been sent to Principal Zero’s office, where he stumbled onto the mystery of Mr. Nice. Because whatever you can say about Principal Zero, one thing is certain: He is not nice. Until now.
Chet knows something is wrong with this picture, and he’s just the gecko to solve this mystery. After all, who do you think put the art in smart aleck?
3. Farewell, My Lunchbag (2001) – Danger may be Chet Gecko’s business, but dessert is his delight. . . .
Chet Gecko’s hunger for mystery is matched only by his appetite for cockroach casserole, mosquito marshmallow surprise, and stinkbug pie. So when the cafeteria needs help nabbing a food thief, Chet digs into the case with a passion he usually reserves only for dessert. But this time Chet may have bitten off more than even he can chew.
Someone has framed him, and now everyone at Emerson Hicky–even his trusted partner, Natalie Attired–thinks the food thief is none other than Chet!
4. The Big Nap (2001) – Grammar school–it’s all about eating and sleeping. Well, for Chet Gecko, anyway.
To Chet, nothing is more divine than a plate of Mrs. Bagoong’s Mothloaf Surprise followed by a sweet bit of shut-eye on the playground. (Besides a few Pillbug Crunch bars and a monthlong holiday, that is.)
In this hilarious mystery from Chet’s tattered casebook, he and his mockingbird partner, Natalie Attired, foil the sinister plans of a weaselly zombie master . . . and still take part in the Nations of the World PTA assembly. (Fourth-grade detectives get no respect.)
5. The Hamster of the Baskervilles (2002) – 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?
13. Hiss Me Deadly (2007) – A crime has been committed that strikes at the heart of Chet’s very own family. Some slippery sneak has stolen his mother’s beloved pearls, leaving Chet angrier than a nest of hornets on eviction day. When additional items go missing, Principal Zero turns up the heat by hiring Chet to flush out the thief. Will our gecko hero deliver the goods before it’s too late? He’d better. Because this time, it’s personal. This thirteenth entry in Chet and Natalie’s tattered casebook is chock-full of the hilarious characters, wacky one-liners, and fast-paced mystery that have made this series a favorite among middle grade readers.
15. Dial M for Mongoose (2009) – In this fifteenth book in the series, Chet finally gets a case that throws him for a loop. People he thinks are the salt of the earth turn out to be the scum of the pond. And lowdown punks turn out to be nice guys. Then there’s a deadly, school-wide stink bomb and a classroom fire that almost spells the end for Chet. It’s enough to make a gecko give up detecting and turn to knitting doilies. But he toughs it out. And why? Loyalty. Someone’s trying to put his mongoose janitor pal Maureen DeBree on ice. A true-blue P.I. doesn’t take that kind of monkey business lying down. Oh, no, Chet Gecko keeps digging for truth like a mole after an earthworm sandwich. When you want your floors waxed, dial "M" for mongoose. When you want danger, deception, and trouble galore, dial "G" for Gecko.
