Farewell, My Lunchbag: From the Tattered Casebook of Chet Gecko, Private Eye

107 pp. | Harcourt | April, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-15-202275-9 $$14.00
(3) 4-6 Chet Gecko Mystery series. Framed for stealing food from the cafeteria and sentenced to a lifetime of detention and years of dishwashing duty, Chet Gecko, a grade-school private eye, sets out to clear his name with the help of his mockingbird partner Natalie Attired. The quirky mystery plays with hard-boiled detective fiction conventions and includes loads of puns, gags, and goofy one-liners. Cartoonlike illustrations add to the humor.
