Dashiell Gibson is one of the first people living on the Moon colony, and he’s found life for the kids to be rather boring. All that changes when one of the residents is found dead outside the base. While everyone thinks it was an accident, Dash is certain it was murder. But can he prove it?

This is a great combination of mystery and science fiction. The setting is realistically done and really adds to the story. The target middle grade audience will love the characters and the humor. Personally, I never saw the ending coming. I can’t wait for the sequel.

Just finished watching Pacific Rim Uprising, a review in two words would be utterly fantastic. Jaeger vs Jaeger, and Giant robot vs kaiju is always awesome.
  I like how they have carried on considering the first movie was a stand alone set up experiment, to see if the audience would enjoy this new genre of film that is giant mecha science fiction. For veterans of the genre there are some nice intertextual links to be spotted especially towards the final scences.
  Plotwise having the son of Pentecost being the main character makes as lot of sense. The only hole in the plot I can see is that there is no mention of what actually happened to the previous film's protagonist Ralleigh.
  I highly recommend the film.
