"172 Hours on the Moon" by Johan Harstad (368 Pages)


The odds of being killed in a plane crash: 354,319 to 1.
The odds of becoming an astronaut: 13,200,000 to 1.
The odds of traveling to the moon as a teenager? 300,000,000 to 1.

NASA decides to go to the moon again-- but this time with teenagers on board. Three lucky teenagers from around the world were chosen to go on this mysterious journey and had to endure months and months of training to prepare for the big project. They safely landed on the surface of the moon but little did they know, the unknown awaited them. In just a matter of hours after their arrival, the power suddenly went out and two members of the team died. Everyone knew that things were starting to go off course. Will they be able to identify the problem? Is someone from the team trying to sabotage them? The twists and turns in this novel will make you keep on wanting to read.

In the beginning of this book, everything started off slow, however, things started to become intense as I turned the pages. I chose this book thinking that it was going to be an easy sci-fi read, but this book was definitely not what I imagined. The mystery and horror of this book gave me the chills in my spine. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy learning about the unknown and definitely to people who do not get easily frightened.
