A deadly stink bomb is unleashed, a school building falls to rubble, money goes missing from the principal's office, and that's just a start. Chet's endurance for trouble is tested, but so is his loyalty: Someone is trying to get his mongoose janitor pal Maureen DeBree fired. A true-blue P.I. doesn't take that kind of monkey business lying down. Standing up, maybe.And stand up he will--to some very shifty school bullies. Chet keeps digging for the truth like a mole after an earthworm sandwich. Oh, foolish detective. <p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the Chet Gecko series: Those who haven't read a 'Chet Gecko' mystery don't know what they're missing.--<i>School Library Journal</i>Hold onto your fedoras; this gecko's going places.--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>A choice series for reluctant readers.--<i>Booklist</i>The sleuth with the smart mouth shows no signs of slowing down . . . and should continue to draw fans like fleas to a dog show.--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>BRUCE HALE is the author of <i>Snoring Beauty, </i> illustrated by Howard Fine, fifteen Chet Gecko mysteries, and the Underwhere series, illustrated by Shane Hillman.
