Series: The Gecko & Sticky by Wendelin Van Draanen - Ages 8+


Villian's Lair
Book 1 
What's the Story? 



Dave Sanchez is an average boy with an after-school job and a pet gecko named Sticky. All very normal—until the day Sticky talks. Sticky tells Dave a wild tale of a former life of crime, searching for Aztec gold with a treasure hunter named Damien Black, and of a magical Aztec wristband with shiny gold power ingots that will give the wearer super powers. Dave doesn’t believe a word—until Sticky shows him the wristband. But while Sticky managed to escape with the wristband, Damien Black has the power ingots. So the lizard and treasure hunter each have something the other wants . . . very badly.

Official Author & Book Site @ Random House Kids - This is also the site for Sammy Keyes & Shredderman, two more awesome series from author Wendelin Van Draanen.  Speaking of the author, I also found a small bio on her here.

Since all the covers for The Gecko & Sticky books are so good, I thought you might like to see the site of the illustrator Stephen Gilpin.  There's some funny stuff there so go check it out.
