The Mystery of Mr. Nice: A Chet Gecko Mystery (Chet Gecko Mystery)
by
Bruce Hale
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 ...more

Chet Gecko is sent to the principal’s office (again) when he realizes something is wrong: Principal Zero is being nice! Together with his sidekick Natalie, Chet is on the case to find out what is happening to their principal and their school.
I liked this story better than “The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse”. More hilarious lines, including “He had me gripped tighter than a turtle’s underwear.”

Bruce Hale's Chet Gecko detective series are chock full of bad puns, worse jokes, and gross out creepy crawlies, which makes them ideal for kids, and according to him, especially boys.
I met Mr. Hale several years ago at a library event and he was absolutely hilarious. I started reading the Gecko books, and fell in love.

Mr. Nice was the Chet Gecko book that got me really hooked on Chet. I had been slightly disappointed with the first one, so I remember when I picked this up at Barnes and Noble I was like "WOW!!" So funny and still really exciting and entertaining for a seven-year old.
Chet and his friend is looking for the real Mr.nice because he is being nice and he use to be really nice to everyone or students. Chet and his friend than find he but got tied up and can't ever yell for help. What would he do.
It was so cool! If you like mysteries, you should read it

I like this book. would recommend this book to anyone who like a good comedy story. This book is more mysterious than any of the other books in the series that I have read. This book is about how Chet Gecko and his friend think that the principal has been kidnapped and that the imposter principal is going to turn the school into a school for juveline punks and bad kids.

This is definitely one of the best Chet Gecko books. I will explain why by listing two of my all-time favorite Chet Gecko similes, both of which appear in this book:
"As I approached the principal's office, my heart beat like a hyperactive octopus with a drum set."
and
"I crawled for [the window] as fast as I could, like an ancient inchworm with arthritis."
Oh, Chet Gecko.... I love him so much.

A humorous sendup of the old noir mystery style.
This book was absolutely hilarious and so very entertaining. I remember reading this book as a nine year old (or so) when grandma sent it to me for my birthday and instantly loving it. I remember buying with my birthday money the next few to read.
Great books for children and even young adults. Adults if you like childish humor.
