Space Case

By Stuart Gibbs

Who would would commit murder on the moon? Space Case is a book about a base on the moon called Moonbase Alpha. The main character is a 12 year old boy named Dash. Being one of the first people to live on the moon all the moonies (people who live on the moon) become famous on earth. After a couple of months living in space something bad happens. Dr Holtz an adult moonie went out of moonbase alpha onto the surface of the moon with his space suit put on the wrong way. Then after two minutes he was dead.

Dash is a very curious kid because he looks into the death and thinks it’s a murder he does it even though the person in charge of the base named Nina tells him not to. Dash is also kind of brave because he knows there will be punishments for investigating the murder and he might be threatened or killed himself. He is also desperate because he’s willing to do dangerous things to prove it was a murder,like getting on people’s bad sides.

During his investigation he runs into problems. like getting in trouble with Nina for still investigating. After thinking everybody liked Dr Holtz he finds out more people did not. He finds more about people finding secrets about them and their connections with Dr Hotz. A good part of the book is when a rocket with more food and people come to the moon base.

I really enjoyed this book if you like murder mysteries I suggest reading this book or if you’re  looking for a book to read. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody. There are a lot of murder mystery books but I don’t know that many that take place on the moon. If I had to rate this book from 1 to 5 i’d give it a 5.
