Stuart Gibbs is an amazing writer, and this may be his best book yet!
Imagine yourself on the moon, but not as an astronaut: You are a member of the first group of moon colonists, along with your mom, dad, and six-year-old sister. This is where we find Dash, the 12-year-old protagonist, and he's not too happy about it. It turns out that the government's advertisements for the "resort-like" Moon Base Alpha were way overblown, and it's nowhere near as nice or exciting as he'd expected.

Things get MUCH more exciting, though, when Dash witnesses a murder! Now it is up to him and a couple of unexpected friends to solve the crime before things get worse. As the government begins to cover it up, Dash is running out of time, and with a murderer on the loose in their small community on the surface of the moon, things will definitely get worse before they get better.
This is a compelling mystery, a realistic sci-fi look at our future in space, and a very interesting story about a brave young man who's trying to do the right thing. Read it!
