It's a murder mystery on the moon in this humorous and suspenseful
space adventure from the author of Belly Up and Spy School.
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...
