Moon Base Alpha

Twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson is one of the first humans living on the moon, but life on Moon Base Alpha is shockingly dull—until the base's top scientist drops dead on the lunar surface. NASA writes it off as an accidental helmet breach, but Dash suspects foul play. In Space Case, Dash plunges into a high-stakes murder mystery on the moon, determined to uncover a dangerous secret discovery before the killer strikes again. Fast-paced, witty, and packed with lunar intrigue, this middle-grade thriller launches an unforgettable cosmic whodunit.

There is nowhere to hide on Moon Base Alpha—the whole compound is barely the size of a soccer field. Yet when base commander Nina Stack mysteriously vanishes into thin air, the frantic crew turns to twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson to solve the case. In Spaced Out, Dash faces a mind-boggling missing-person puzzle while secretly guarding an explosive secret: he has made contact with an alien. With panic mounting and humanity's future on the line, Dash must uncover the truth before time runs out in this delightfully clever sci-fi whodunit.

All Dashiell Gibson wants for his thirteenth birthday is a quiet, drama-free day on Moon Base Alpha. Instead, obnoxious trillionaire Lars Sjoburg is poisoned, plunging the lunar habitat into chaos. In Waste of Space, Dash must track down a ruthless culprit when nearly everyone on the base has a motive to eliminate the insufferable tourist. As Dash pieces together clues, he realizes he has painted a target on his own back. With a poisoner on the loose and tensions at an all-time high, this thrilling conclusion delivers a wickedly smart lunar whodunit.
