Bookroo's summary
Chet Gecko, the sharpest lizard detective at Emerson Hicky Elementary, finds himself in Principal Zero's office due to his artistic antics. But something's off—Principal Zero, known for his gruff demeanor, is acting suspiciously nice. Chet senses a mystery brewing and is determined to uncover the truth behind this puzzling transformation. With his wit and knack for solving mysteries, Chet dives into a case that could change everything he knows about his school. Can he crack the case of Mr. Nice before it's too late?
From the publisher
Most folks know him as the best lizard detective at Emerson Hicky Elementary, but it’s not all knuckles and know-how with Chet Gecko. He’s also got his artistic side. If it wasn’t for his art, he might never have been sent to Principal Zero’s office, where he stumbled onto the mystery of Mr. Nice. Because whatever you can say about Principal Zero, one thing is certain: He is not nice. Until now. Chet knows something is wrong with this picture, and he’s just the gecko to solve this mystery. After all, who do you think put the art in smart aleck?
