The Moon Base Alpha series by Stuart Gibbs is a favorite of my kids (9yo boy and 12yo girl). I don’t have a picture of the actual book, because we love the audiobooks and own all of them! We often put them on for long car rides and we have all listened to them multiple times. I find this sci-fi series to be funny and clever (but I’ll admit there is some potty humor, which is probably why my son loves them so much!)*. The series starts with Space Case, which is the best of the trilogy.
From Amazon:
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...
*I love giving out book recommendations for kids if you ever would like to contact me about it. In this series, I definitely recommend book one without hesitation. If you’d like to read the whole series, I’m happy to talk more about them with you!
