Still good, still well researched. Just... didn't feel as well thought out as the original.

*gasp* Did that JUST happen?!

I can't decide between a 4.5 and a 5. I took WAY too long to read this. Smh.

These books are just great. I love the characters and their development . The kids love listening to these . The author does a great job of writing for kids but makes it appealing for many ages. He portrays Dash and his family in kind loving way but without it being saccharine and fake.

 What did the space bandit tell his victims?

"Reach for the stars!"

This book presents itself with a level of maturity that I appreciate. It's not maturity in the sense that it reads like Dash, the main character, is a teenager or adult but rather a realistic yet level headed middle schooler. Gibbs also maintains adequate suspension of disbelief even with the moon base setting and the simply nasty Sjoburg space tourist family. I also really enjoyed the blend of mystery and alien contact present in this book as well as the other two in the series.

This is such a fun series with a well-crafted world and characters who I’ve come to either love or loathe. I wish we’d seen more of Kira in this one but once again it was great to see Dash in action on the case. Violet is still a particularly delightful side character. The element which really takes the book into the sci-fi realm took a strange turn but I’m still interested in seeing where that storyline goes. Looking forward to seeing how the series wraps up with one more mystery.
