Space Case
Space Case | Stuart Gibbs
Its 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 lunarnautsotherwise known as Mooniesliving 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 hes bored out of his mind. Kids arent allowed on the lunar surface, meaning theyre trapped inside the tiny moon base with next to nothing to occupy their timeand the only other kid Dashs age spends all his time hooked into virtual reality games. Then Moon Base Alphas top scientist turns up dead. Dash senses theres 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 its a secret that could change everything for the Mooniesa secret someone just might kill to keep...

First finished book of 2021.

What a fun book! 12-year old Dash and his family live on the moon, part of a small group living at Moon Base Alpha. He‘s pretty sure it‘s overrated.

When one of the 22 people living there dies, Dash is certain there‘s foul play. But how will he prove it?

Looking forward to the other books in this series.

Texreader I enjoyed this one too!! 3y

Mehso-so

A fun tale of mystery and murder on the moon. Love seeing MG sci-fi too. MAJOR YIKES for abelism though and depicting a future in which all deaf, blind, and paraplegic people are "cured." Totally unnecessary as an explanation for why a character is unfamiliar with the concept of sign language. Completely took me out of the book and makes it difficult for me to actually recommend. Unfortunate since I otherwise liked it.

rachelsbrittain Also for a book that talks this much about mental illness, it does quite a bad job of using proper language. The amount of times "crazy" and "insane" was used in reference to a character potentially being uncredible due to suspected dementia or delusions was pretty disheartening. 3y

@sprainedbrain @KatieDid927 @Clare-Dragonfly
I saw this author‘s review of his own book to point out that any of the “reviews” were impossible because he hasn‘t written it yet. Thought of your early post/conversation and just laughed.

sprainedbrain 😂 I do feel bad for the authors, but that‘s funny. 4y
KatieDid927 Lmao. I really do wish they‘d reign some of that in somehow because it gets really out of control. Amazon does verified reviews for this reason. People have already “reviewed” GRRM‘s Winds or Winter which he hasn‘t even finished writing yet! 4y
Clare-Dragonfly Eh, I think this sort of thing goes too far in the other direction. Goodreads isn‘t a review site, it‘s a reader site. If the reviews have no text, they aren‘t really reviews! They might be ratings, but that‘s not the same thing. 4y

A great middle-grade sci-fi mystery. The perfect tone and humor.

I‘m happy to say 8 met all but my biking 2xs a week. I stayed within my limits on fast food and I‘ll be upping my book goal to 10 now. I didn‘t get to participate much in the walk-a-this today since we had my granddaughter‘s first bday party but I hope to make up some of that tomorrow.

I finished this book, recommended by my sixth grade son, a couple days ago and it's a thumbs up. It was slow until about 2/3 in and then it picked up the pace and ended with satisfaction and a twist that makes me want to read book 2. A solid 🌟🌟🌟.

My 9 year old daughter's current favorite author is Stuart Gibbs. She finished his whole "Spy School" series and loved them! Now she's on to his "Moon Base Alpha" series. I haven't read them yet so I can't say how good they are, but I do love the graphic design on all his covers.

Many of you may be aware of how my 11-year old son piled the Unwanted series of books by my bedside and told me I had to read them. And I ❤️ them. After a brilliant conversation on the way to school today about book 6, this is what he carried to the floor by my bedside tonight. He told me about each one, & which ones are the best (they all are). I love my kids. They are the biggest readers ever (next to me at that age of course). 🎊🎉

Bookzombie I love this! So sweet! 7y
Daisey Fantastic! 7y
BooksMcD Fablehaven is amazing and completely underrated! I always recommend it 😊 7y

I LOVED this book! It was smart, it was funny, and I seriously did not see the ending coming. Until now, Stuart Gibbs was a literary blind spot for me, but kids kept coming into the shop and raving about him. Now I know why. I don't care how old you are, read this book!

Diving into this for the children's book club that I run at work, aka The Not-So-Secret Reading Society! It'll be a nice change from the sad a dreary grown up books I've been dealt lately!
