Summary:
Fourth-grade detective Chet Gecko and his associate Natalie Attired investigate a series of mishaps that all seem to point to the school janitor.

Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
Jerry Dooty extended his cupped paws. "I found these on the floor in Maureen's office."

We leaned closer. He held a bunch of little-bitty pieces of wood. Headless matchsticks.

Inside Front Flap:
Chet Gecko's investigations often reveal the seamy underbelly of Emerson Hicky Elementary, but this case throws him for a loop. A deadly stinkbomb is unleashed, a school building falls to rubble, money goes missing from the principal's office, and that's just a start. Chet's tolerance for trouble is tested - and so is his loyalty. Someone is trying to get his mongoose janitor pal, Maureen DeBree, fired. A true-blue PI doesn't take that kind of monkey business lying down. Standing up, maybe.

And stand up he will - to some very shifty school bullies, the Dirty Rotten Stinkers. But Chet keeps digging for the truth like a mole after an earthworm sandwich.

Oh, foolish detective.
