At the first coding academy on the moon, constant surveillance doesn't stop the smartest misfits from plotting their escape-even if it costs them their freedom.

Life at the Lunar Coding Complex is boring, not that thirteen-year-old Moon Girl cares. She finds comfort in its predictability-her first real friend and her love of AI coding keep her anxiety in check. When a harmless prank with her charismatic bestie attracts the attention of rebel hackers led by Moon Girl's crush Dovrin, she's thrilled to join their crew. But as they uncover Big Smile Corp's dangerous secrets, Moon Girl faces impossible choices: her friendship, her crush, or everyone's safety. Even if they crack the system, do they want to escape back to Earth? And if they fail, what will the sinister corporation do to silence them?

Fans of The Last Cuentista and His Dark Materials will enjoy How I Hacked the Moon, a thrilling adventure for ages ten to adult.
