The Moon Platoon by Jeramey Kraatz
5.0
We loved this series. There's a fourth book out, that we haven't read yet, but it's on the TBR pile...
The first book reads like watching my son play Forza but with hot rods on the moon!
Right off the shuttle, the main character Benny and the motley cast of teen winners of Elija West's Scholarship for Courage, Ambition and Brains are saving each other -- and eventually Earth. Benny drives a 4-wheeler souped up for moon conditions to rescue Jazz, whose space runner vehicle crashes, and the Taj space resort is bombarded by alien asteroids.
The scholarship winners work together as a team led by a reluctant Benny to fend off an attack by the Alpha Maraudi (a play on the word marauder, perhaps?), who want to take over Earth and resettle it for their own people.
