Space Case Moon Base Alpha Series 1 by Stuart Gibbs
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. . .

I loved this book! I read it in 3 days. It was a little scary at night time but it was still a 5 star read.

Amazing book!
Space case [by Stuart Gibbs] was an amazing book about how the main character Dashiell wanted to stay in Hawaii forever until he and his family got invited to live in moon base alpha. Everything is pretty boring in moon base alpha, but then famous scientist Dr.Holtz was found dead. So Dashiel and his friend Kira investigate the scene behind the head enforcer Nina’s back. Then they figure out who did it. But why? -I loved Space Case [by Stuart Gibbs] because of the idea of advanced technology in the near future. When I first read this I was 11. Which is close to Dashiell's age. This allowed me to understand things better than people who are older/younger than me. -Another reason I love Space Case [By Stuart Gibbs] is because of the feeling I get when I’m reading it. The feeling I am talking about is the feeling that I am part of the mystery of Dr. Holtz's death like I’m right alongside Dashiell as he cracks the case. It makes the reading experience one thousand times better.
