Review:
A fascinating, suspense filled novel that keeps you guessing till the end. All teenagers’ ages fourteen to eighteen are given the opportunity to enter a lottery for a once in a lifetime chance, a trip to the moon. The three lucky teenagers chosen get to be the first people to visit a secret station that was built on the moon over forty years ago. After over a year of preparation it seems like this team of teenagers and chaperones are ready for anything in the world, too bad that’s not where they are. Once they land on the moon things begin to happen that could make them all wish they weren’t so lucky. This book keeps your attention and is hard to put down. Switching between small stories to create the big picture keeps the reader interested and makes the bigger picture more detailed than ever before. This page-turner will keep you guessing till the very end. Recommend.
