A Chet Gecko Mystery
by Bruce Hale
Get ready for muckraking time at Emerson Hicky Elementary. No, not the annual mud-pie-eating contest - it's the student council election. And, as Chet and Natalie are about to find out, politics is one dirty business......Could it be that someone is trying to rig the election? Good thing Chet and Natalie are around to expose the filthy frauds. But not before getting caught up in some dirty politics of their own.
"Young readers will recognize each cleverly crafted character in the story as similar to ones in their own school, but the tongue-in-cheek humor of the text may be too sophisticated for some this age to fully appreciate. " - Children's Literature
