1: Cute Book, Great Series!
My son is 9 years old and hates chapter books, he would much rather be reading non-fiction. When I found the Chet Gecko series at the store, I took a chance and bought the first book. At first my son refused to read it, but after reading the first two chapters aloud as a bedtime story, he was hooked. He has since read all of the Chet Gecko novels and loves each and every one. I have read most of them to my students, (I teach reading recovery in a middle school)and they have always been a huge hit. While he may not be reading Chaucer, I am very happy to see him reading chapter books and enjoying himself. My six year old daughter also loves having the books read to her. I would recommend the Chet Gecko to any child, boy or girl, as a great introduction to mystery novels, detective stories, and bad puns.

2: The Mystery of Mr.Nice
In the beginning of the book I was convinced that this book was going
to be good. I immediately fell in love with the book. No telling how many times I read this book. It was a little obvious that Chet and Natile [his best friend] was going to investigate because Mr. Zero would not be nice to
Chet. The book was sort of short I wanted the story to keep on going.
He needed to come up with a plan or his school is going to be filled with crooks! Natile is a good detective but Chet is better.
The best part is when you're in the middle of the book. Don't get me wrong the end is just as good. If you read this book you will feel like a detective.
This is such a page turner! If you like mysteries this is the book for you! Even if you don't really like mystery books it's really good. It's like a book of mysteries needing to be solved! It's an awesome book I suggest you read it!

3: Corrupting Our Children!
Bruce Hale encourages violance and judgemental attitudes. As a teacher, there is no way I would allow my students to read this book. The heros in this story, the ones that are supposed to be making good choices, set very bad examples of behavior and respect.

4: The Mystery Of Mr. Nice Book Review
Book Review
Something's just not right. It's not like Mr. Zero to be so nice. Is this the real Mr. Zero? Chet Gecko is on the case.
The story starts with Chet and Natalie on the case trying to find something about their school principle. I think that Chet and Natalie are going to find some clues about where the real Principle Zero is. Then after that, they might find the new principle and then when they find the fake principle, they will put the principle in jail.
Then before all that happens the principle tells Chet that he can come in his office anytime. Then after Chet thinks that the principle has gone crazy but he really is just a fake. Then when the principle sees that Chet has a picture of Mr. Ratnoose, he asks, "Can I have this picture?" Then Chet says, "Sure you can have the picture." Then when Chet leaves the principles office he finds his partner and then says, "Have you noticed something different about Principle Zero, Natalie?" Then Natalie says, "No, I haven't noticed something different about Principle Zero," she said, "Why?" Then Chet says, "Because I just went to see him and he told me some things that were nice."

5: Fabulous Addition to the Series
Detective-extraordinaire, Chet Gecko, may have the heart of an artist, but he definitely doesn't have the talent, for every time he creates one of his masterpieces, he wins himself a one way ticket to Principal Zero's office. However, this trip was the strangest, for nasty Mr. Zero, was actually...nice to him. Chet knows that something fishy is going on, especially when he finds that there are a bunch of new teachers inhabiting the school who are all up to no good. In fact, they're up to something totally sinister, and it's up to Chet and his loyal mockingbird sidekick, Natalie Attired, to figure out what's going on before the entire school turns criminal.
After adoring the first CHET GECKO MYSTERY, THE CHAMELEON WORE CHARTREUSE, I just had to pick up THE MYSTERY OF MR. NICE, and I was in no way disappointed. Hale has created another fabulous novel featuring everyone's favorite gecko, Chet. Filled with his signature jokes, and quirky characters, Hale proves that this series has staying power. A must-have book for all those who enjoyed the previous book in the series, THE CHAMELEON WORE CHARTREUSE.
