4-6Chet Gecko Mystery series.
The theft of a pearl necklace from his sister's desk gets Chet Gecko all riled up: "No crook had ever picked on my family before...This punk was going down hard, like a skydiving brontosaurus." For Chet's thirteenth case, Hale sticks to his winning formula: loads of animal shenanigans, sassy comebacks, and silly puns. Black-and-white illustrations capture the action.
