Review:
"Those who haven't read a "Chet Gecko" mystery don't know what they're missing."
"Beginning readers will appreciate the offbeat, likeable cast and quirky comedy and may well look forward to Gecko's second case."
"The clever dialogue is filled with the kind of sarcastic similes that would have made Mickey Spillane proud.... It may resonate with young fans who want to go beyond Marjorie Sharmat's "Nate the Great" series."
"Fast-paced suspense and snappy dialogue make for an entertaining read. Kids will enjoy Chet's narrative, filled with wordplay and tongue-in-cheek commentary, and black-and-white drawings add fun as as they visualize an animal cast that mirrors human behavior. A solid stand-alone in a choice series for reluctant readers." -- Booklist 12/1/2001 "Booklist 12/1/2001"
