The Story

Louise “LuLu” Lewis is struggling to get noticed. She dreams of space walking in the footsteps of her hero, American astronaut Sally Ride, but feels as though her aspiration is being overshadowed by Nelson, her brother, who shares a similar, if not obsessive, passion for space. Despite the noble efforts of her family and friends, Louise is unable to cope with the amount of attention that Nelson is receiving and acts out against anyone who appears to show more support for his dream than hers. In the end, she must conquer her own self-doubt so that she can find the true meaning of what it is to be a hero.Her journey from jealous teenager to brave and supportive sister is what makes Louise a heroic and strong role model for those that will ultimately follow in her historic footsteps.​​
