This book is the first in what appears to be a new series by Belly Up author Stuart Gibbs: the Moon Base Alpha series. Living on the moon is actually pretty boring for 12-year-old Dashiell Gibson until he uncovers a murder at the base and is ordered by the base commander to stop investigating--or else. This fast-paced, sci-fi mystery unfolds over the course of just a few days and definitely kept my attention. I recommend it to readers who like mystery, space travel, action, humor, and futuristic stories. I will definitely be booktalking this title in my classroom after winter break!
