Review: Space Case

Space Case by Stuart Gibbs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dash is one of the residents on Moon Base Alpha, our first space station on the moon. He's there with his scientist parents and his little sister. Only a few of the other "moonies" are kids and life is pretty repetitive and boring, until one of the scientists is found dead on the planet outside the station. Was it an accident or was it murder? If it was murder then the murderer had to be one of the other moonies. Dash is determined to find out.

A wonderful mystery by Stuart Gibbs. The moon station he creates is not so different from the one Andy Weir created in The Martian. Life isn't luxurious or glamorous. The moonies face some interesting hardships such as eating dried food, a lack of entertainment, and the absence of many of the comforts we take for granted. This is a terrific mystery for middle grade readers.
