The plot is set in 2019 (oh god, when I read it seemed so far away!) when NASA, in need of funding, announces that they will launch a new mission to the moon. In order to get the funding, they have to gain public interest, which they do by allowing three teenagers go along with the astronauts. They are chosen through a contest, and the winners are: Mia from Norway, Antoine from France and Midori from Japan.

The real reason behind the launch, is to find out what actually happened to the bases there, that caused NASA to stop sending people to the moon in the seventies.

The secrets revealed on the moon turn out to be the possible end of humanity

It may not be one of the most well-plotted books out there, but the story grabs and does not let go until it's done with you. And when it releases it's grip, you'll be exhausted because of the pace and the quick twists and surprises. Do not be fooled by the beginning, which I found a bit slow, but hang in there! It's definitely worth it!
