The Gecko discovers that his hated teacher is ill for the day and has been replaced by a villain. He realizes it is up to him and Sticky, to rescue his teacher because she has been abducted so that the abductors can "get" to Dave and Sticky. Humorous and fun. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375843787, Hardcover)

Dave's most despised teacher, a gleeful frog dissector named Ms. Veronica Krockle, is absent. Her students are psyched! But Sticky is suspicious. Especially when the substitute teacher turns out to be strangely interested in geckos. Or rather, boys with pet geckos.

That’s no substitute! That’s Damien Black, dastardly treasure hunter and master of disguise!
