(4) 4-6 Chet Gecko Mystery series. When Chet Gecko's suspects (and clients) thwart his efforts to recover a prizewinning ticket for a tasty dessert, Emerson Hicky Elementary's detective is "as short on ideas as a ten-year-old TV sitcom." The great gecko's wisecracks are up to par, but readers may struggle with the overlarge, albeit humorously sketched cast.
