It’s a murder mystery on the moon in this humorous and suspenseful space adventure from the author of Belly Up and Spy School.
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...

Great book!
Space Case is the first out of three books in the Moon Base Alpha series. Stuart Gibbs has impressed everyone will the plot and humorous ideas in this incredible book. Dashiell Gibson, a 12 year old boy, is just getting used to life on the moon station when something strange happens: When Dashiell heads into the bathroom (The food on the station isn't great), he notices Dr. Holtz talking to what seems to be himself. Could he be hallucinating? Dash doesn't know, so when Holtz turns up dead a few hours later, Dash knows it wasn't an accident. Someone has killed Holtz, someone who knows the big news that Holtz was going to say to everyone that morning. Now it's up to Dash to find out what exactly caused Holtz to die, and who killed him. Because if their was a killer on the base, then everyone he cared about, and more, would be in danger. Only problem is, the base was small, and everyone could be a suspect. Will Dash be able to solve the mystery, or will someone else be murdered? I really loved this fast paced book. With all the hidden clues, this book is worth the read!
A must read! If you like mysteries or other books by Stuart Gibbs then you will love this! Plus if you want to be an astronaut you are not going to the moon before reading this! :)
Awesome
It's a great book I really enjoyed it . It was very exciting and science fictiony
This book is very cool and interesting. It has a unique concept about how living in space isn't as fun as it is in space movies like in Star Trek or Star Wars. it may not have as much action as the other book series from Stuart Gibbs that I'm reading called Spy School, which can make the book a little boring at times. I still enjoyed it nonetheless.
