This series perfectly combines mystery, sci-fi, and comedy into three great reads. It also gives some realism to space travel, which adds to the humor. I recommend this series to anyone who loves the aforementioned genres.

How can I not love books that help my son, who struggles with reading, love the story, identify with characters, and see himself as an astronaut someday?
Great middle grade mystery about a Moon Base and the families that live on it. It is a series of comedic murder mysteries with a 11 year old protagonist named Dash. There is suspense, slapstick comedy, bathroom humor, crushes, bullies, and functional families who support each other; exactly what most 3-6th graders love. Stuart Gibbs is good at writing for his audience.
We also listened to the audio books and loved the reader. We enjoyed all three books in the series, but the first was my favorite.

This book series is a perfect series for anyone who like mystery books, that are for tweens/teens. I loved this book and could not put it down till I finished it. It is not like those kid mystery books that are "Who stole the cookie from the mayor". It has murder un their, but it is still appropriate for Matured Tweens/teens. I read this when I was in 4th grade and It was amazing. I Love these mystery books, That have real mystery which are appropriate and has humor. If you are like me, You will LOVE this book.

I read these to my eight-year-old and we both loved them. Science-fiction based murder-mystery. Spirit of a Heinlein juvenile, but more juvenile and less Heinlein (a good thing). Truly satisfying and emotional conclusion.

Every once in a while I love a good Young Adult series and this is probably one of my top pics. I wish there was a bit more interactions with the adults and the younger kids but it was still great
