Bookroo's summary

Fourth-grade detective Chet Gecko and his witty partner Natalie Attired tackle two puzzling cases at Emerson Hicky Elementary. First, they expose a classroom cheating ring, then hunt for a missing ticket to the ultimate dessert prize, the Malted Falcon. Can they solve these mysteries before chaos erupts? Danger and humor collide in this deliciously intriguing adventure.

From the publisher

In these two wisecracking, sidesplitting mysteries from Chet Gecko’s tattered casebook, the fourth-grade detective and his punning mockingbird partner, Natalie Attired, keep the peace at Emerson Hicky Elementary. In the first, the two sleuths blow the lid off a cheating ring in Mr. Ratnose’s classroom, and in the second, they track down the winning ticket for the biggest, chocolatiest, most gut-busting dessert ever, the Malted Falcon. Danger has never been so delicious!
