4-6Chet Gecko Mystery series.
Chet Gecko fears he's lost his "detective mojo" when a rival P.I. cracks his case. Who's the new sleuth in town? "The name's Bland. James Bland." Chet's reputation soon goes from bad to worse: Bland disappears and the gecko's the top suspect--until he collars a kidnapper with a revenge-of-the-nerds mentality. Hale's illustrations play up the zany goings-on.
