The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse — Bruce Hale

Meet CHET GECKO, the best LIZARD DETECTIVE at EMERSON HICKY ELEMENTARY.

SOME CASES START ROUGH, some cases start easy. This one starts with a missing first grader named Billy Chameleon. His sister, Shirley, promises Chet a big piece of stinkbug pie if he can find the little brat.

But Shirley has more cooties than clues, and Chet's investigation turns up so many riddles he could write a joke book. He and his partner, Natalie Attired, may have bitten off more than they can chew.

But they'd better chew fast: If they don't find the kid in time, it's going to be bye-bye, stinkbug pie.
