Strange things begin to happen at every rehersal. The young detective realizes there may be more to this case than meets the eye. Is the cafeteria really haunted by an unseen phantom bent on ruining the performance, or could someone else be behind the acts of sabotage?
Join Chet and his friend Natalie in this exciting adventurous mystery. This is a hilarious book full of witty sarcasim and zany dialogue. I laughed out loud along with my children as we read. I especially enjoyed the suspenseful way the author, Bruce Hale, keeps you guessing until the very end. This book is definately a must have for any Chet Gecko Mystery fan. I haven't read any of the other books in the series but after the side splitting good time I had with this one, I will look into other Chet Gecko books.
