The Malted Falcon — Bruce Hale

Freddie Nostrils is a prairie dog with a passion...for dessert.

In fact, his sweet tooth rivals Chet Gecko's own well-known appetite for cake, cookies, ice cream, and -- well, you get the idea. That's why when the winning ticket in the Malted Falcon contest goes missing, Freddie hires Chet and his mockingbird partner, Natalie Attired.

And just what is the Malted Falcon?

Only the biggest, most chocolatiest, most gut-busting dessert ever imagined. Duh. And that's just as tempting to this gecko as it is to any homeroom hoodlum.

But the real mystery here is: Even if Chet does find the stolen ticket... how can he possibly pass up free dessert?
