The Gecko & Sticky are a fabulous crime-fighting duo! This quartet of funny adventures will appeal to fans of superheroes both young and old, and would make terrific all-family read-alouds.

“Don’t move a muscle!” shouts a strangely clad crook in the act of robbing a bank. But of course somebody does. That somebody is Dave Sanchez, and the crook is none other than the dastardly Damien Black, fresh out of prison and back to his villainous ways. But Dave and his gecko sidekick, Sticky, are on the case, and this time they have a trick up their sleeve–literally! It’s an Aztec wristband that give its wearer powers like invisibility and flight. Asombroso, right? But power alone does not a superhero make, and they’ll have to learn how to use it if they want to defeat their nemesis not once–but twice.

Don’t miss all the Gecko & Sticky adventures:
1. The Villain’s Lair
2. The Greatest Power,
3. Sinister Substitute
4. The Power Potion

Praise for the Gecko & Sticky books:

“A dastardly good read. Written with gleeful wit, rapid-fire pacing and snappy dialogue.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Fearsome is rarely this much fun. Van Draanen has a super imagination, to which she never applies the brakes. Readers who enjoy loony adventures will love this ride.” – Children’s Literature

“Consistently entertaining . . . reaching a frenetic level of energy and comedy as the story’s tension builds.” – Booklist

“Peppered with exaggerated alliteration and the excitable lizard’s Spanish-tinged ‘Stickynese,’ the wisecracking narrative bounds from one slapstick scenario to another.” – Publishers Weekly
