Summary
Books 3 and 4 in the award-winning Chet Gecko series!
 
Farewell, My Lunchbag: Danger may be Chet Gecko's business, but dessert is his delight. . . . Chet Gecko's hunger for mystery is matched only by his appetite for cockroach casserole, mosquito marshmallow surprise, and stinkbug pie. So when the cafeteria needs help nabbing a food thief, Chet digs into the case with a passion he usually reserves only for dessert. But this time Chet may have bitten off more than even he can chew. Someone has framed him, and now everyone at Emerson Hicky--even his trusted partner, Natalie Attired--thinks the food thief is none other than Chet!
 
The Big Nap: Grammar school—it's all about eating and sleeping. Well, for Chet Gecko, anyway. To Chet, nothing is more divine than a plate of Mrs. Bagoong's Mothloaf Surprise followed by a sweet bit of shut-eye on the playground. (Besides a few Pillbug Crunch bars and a month-long holiday, that is.) In this hilarious mystery from Chet's tattered casebook, he and his mockingbird partner, Natalie Attired, must catch a cafeteria thief, foil the sinister plans of a weaselly zombie master . . . and still take part in the Nations of the World PTA assembly. (Fourth-grade detectives get no respect.)

Narrator: Jon Cryer My Reading Speed: 1x Have I Read The Book Before Listening to the Audio? Yes (though a very long time ago) Overall Audio Impression: I used to read the Chet Gecko books back when I was in elementary school & played this one for our drive to our vacation destination for my younger brothers. I forgot just how ridiculous & funny the books could be! XD I loved the narrator’s voice as he gave the book an old-timey private eye feel & there was occasionally mood music for some scenes that added to the fun! As an adult, I could easily figure out who the bad guy was & could see the hints flying past Chet, but as a kid I remember having no idea who it could be. And though this book is part of a series, you can read any of them in any order. (A few notes for new readers: all the characters are animals & act like animals though they walk like humans -think Zootopia- so they also eat things animals enjoy -like bug dishes- the main character (Chet) is a fourth grader) Favorite scenes: the admittedly bad jokes Chet’s constant getting into trouble things just flying past Chet when it comes to clues
