The Moon Platoon is a near-future space opera aimed at middle graders. A group of promising teens is brought to a large hotel on the moon by a self-proclaimed genius-mogul to race space cars and moon buggies, play video games and compete to become one of the mogul’s permanent staff. As things develop, they also must save the earth from an alien attack. Think Willie Wonka on the Moon meets Ender’s Game. We follow Benny, a poor kid who grew up in a caravan in the American desert. The plot moves right along and does not hit you over the head with character drama. World-building could be better. The space racers look like sports cars on the cover and are never adequately described. Architecture, technology, and landscapes get a similar cavalier treatment. Finally, I wish the kids’ adventures provided some more specific information about science and technology. Kraatz could profit by reading some Heinlein juveniles. 3 stars.… (altro)
