Synopsis

It’s a murder mystery on the moon in this humorous and suspenseful space adventure from the author of Belly Up and Spy School that The New York Times Book Review called “a delightful and brilliantly constructed middle grade thriller.”

Like his fellow lunarnauts—otherwise known as Moonies—living on Moon Base Alpha, twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson is famous the world over for being one of the first humans to live on the moon.

And he’s bored out of his mind. Kids aren’t allowed on the lunar surface, meaning they’re trapped inside the tiny moon base with next to nothing to occupy their time—and the only other kid Dash’s age spends all his time hooked into virtual reality games.

Then Moon Base Alpha’s top scientist turns up dead. Dash senses there’s foul play afoot, but no one believes him. Everyone agrees Dr. Holtz went onto the lunar surface without his helmet properly affixed, simple as that. But Dr. Holtz was on the verge of an important new discovery, Dash finds out, and it’s a secret that could change everything for the Moonies—a secret someone just might kill to keep...

Read this a while ago and as thought my 12 year old reluctant reader son might enjoy it but he didn’t want to read it at the time and he just started the 6th grade and brought it home from the library and read it so fast - in a couple of days - he has never done that and he LOVED it . I enjoyed it b......more

Goodreads review by thefourthvine on February 08, 2019

I read this book to see if my son might like it, and maybe he will, but this is definitely not one of those middle grade books that works for adults, too. The plot is simplistic, the worldbuilding is deeply flawed, and the ending is ... well, bad. (No spoilers here, but: it’s bad, people.) Dashiell i......more

Goodreads review by Cheryl on October 21, 2014

This is the second book I have read by this author. Really enjoying these books. The first one I read was Poached. Just like that one, Space Case is a quick read.
