This Gum for Hire

(3) 4-6 Chet Gecko Mystery series. After three football players go AWOL, Chet Gecko dons a uniform and goes undercover to try to find the team's missing members before Friday's big game. Chet is at his sassy, wise-cracking best--even when thrown "deeper into the sports world than a dung beetle in elephant poop." The book's black-and-white illustrations play up the lizard detective's puny physique to humorous effect.
