The Moon Base Mystery

Something is stirring beneath the lunar dust

By: Sophie Lane

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A training trip to the Moon should be simple—surveying craters, collecting samples, and exploring the Academy’s old lunar base. But when the cadets arrive, the base is strangely abandoned, its systems still running but no crew in sight. Strange shadows flicker across the walls, doors open by themselves, and eerie noises echo in the dark. Max and his friends must piece together what happened to the missing team before the same fate befalls them.

Ten-year-old Max Orbit isn’t the fastest, the strongest, or the bravest kid on Earth. But when he wins a mysterious contest, Max is launched into the stars — and straight into the Junior Space Academy, a hidden training station orbiting high above the planet.

The Academy recruits only the brightest young minds to pilot mini-fighters, decode alien tech, and prepare for missions across the galaxy. Most cadets have lightning reflexes or genius-level smarts. Max? He just has a wild imagination and the knack for noticing things others miss.

That turns out to be exactly what the Academy needs.

When strange alien threats begin to stir, Max and his fellow cadets must survive daring missions, solve interstellar puzzles, and learn to trust one another. With his trademark goggles, his tinkerer’s curiosity, and his “think-outside-the-rocket” ideas, Max might just be the unlikeliest hero the galaxy has ever seen.

Packed with gadgets, adventure, teamwork, and laugh-out-loud moments, Max Orbit and the Junior Space Academy is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Last Kids on Earth, and The Mysterious Benedict Society.
