(4) 4-6 Gecko & Sticky series. Illustrated by Stephen Gilpin. In Substitute, Dave's least-favorite teacher disappears mysteriously--only to be replaced by the ominously familiar Dr. Schwarz. Potion finds Dave and pet gecko Sticky tasked with delivering a package to dangerous Damien Black. The series continues to blend broad school-based humor with outlandish fantasy plots in winning, if a bit frantic, adventures. Review covers these Gecko & Sticky titles: The Power Potion and Sinister Substitute.
