Description
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...

Fun for the Fam
5By CK1 LikeyAmazing read! Fun for the whole family! Great twists and turns keep you engaged and wanting more. This book delivers, We can’t wait to get to the next one!Great murder mystery!!!!!
5By Bookworm8494I love Stuart Gibbs and this was another great book by him. This is an easy five star and I’d give it more if I could. This is such a cliffhanging book which I love! Every chapter if you need to do something else you won’t get out of your chair. I won’t say any spoilers but the end shocked me. I was thinking about the mystery at the end of every chapter and thinking who could be behind it. Stuart Gibbs has done it many times but this was amazing. Stuart Gibbs is easy in the top 5 best authors ever. Space Case was such a good and thrilling book to carefully read. What I loved most about this book was Stuart Gibbs didn’t give us the answer but we got to help Dash find out who the killer is. I used to think mysteries were just books that were a blow off, but this book has opened the whole world to me. I just can’t wait to read the rest of the series!! I really hope I will get to meet Stuart Gibbs one day and become an amazing author like him! This is a great book for anyone from 9-12.Would totally recommend
5By Sunshine 9865This takes place in 2041, and follows Dashell (Dash) Gibson. AMAZING SERIES. I read this for battle of the books and ended up getting the whole set. The plot is perfectly planned, so are the twists, the starting is amazing and it gets better as it goes on. It’s a children’s book but I would say my parents would love it. Perfect for dystopian/sci-fi lovers. It isn’t long, but there are three books in the series, and it’s definitely a book that you would read again. The next books are Spaced Out and Waste of Space.Best author

1By Andrevwwits kinda boring tho but its gucciWow
5By Alex The GravyThis book had me hooked from the start, but it just got better and better. Don’t read any reviews that say spoiler alert (unless you don’t want to read the book).Very interesting
5By kejehThis is a quality book. It keeps the reader trying to figure out who the murderer is, the reader has a suspect, hopes they were right, and then the book makes a huge twist. The murderer wasn't even an important character in the book! This book also addresses the fact that some human beings aren't ready for interstellar contact, and also addresses a possible side effect to nuclear bombing. Space Case is a sci-fi book, but also mostly sticks to the facts of space travel.
