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.
Dave Sanchez, crime-fighting courier, has just been handed the scariest package he’s ever seen, and it’s addressed to none other than the dastardly Damien Black! Dave is well award that he should deliver the package, but when he sees the evil-looking potion inside, he knows he can’t. So he comes up with a totally clever ruse to trick the villain and . . . it backfires. Big-time. Soon he’s facing off with six-horned goats, terrifying tarantulas, a java-junkie monkey–and, of course, Damien Black!
Don’t miss the other Gecko & Sticky Adventures:

2. The Greatest Power,
3. Sinsister Substitute, and
4. The Power Potion.
