Plot Summary: Luciana is THRILLED her dream of attending space camp is finally coming true. She entered the essay contest to win a scholarship for 2 (or 3?) years and finally won! When her parents drop her off, she's a little worried about being so far away from home for 6 days, and she's also wondering what will happen with the baby they're trying to adopt from Chile. Will her big dream of becoming a big sister finally come true? How will Luciana do in the robot competition?
Setting: space camp, parents live 3 states away, trying to adopt a baby from Chile (grandparents still live there)
Characters:
Recurring Themes: robots, STEM, STEAM, space camp, friendship, adoption, becoming an older sibling, cheating, morals, ethics, teamwork
Controversial Issues: none that I'm aware of
Personal Thoughts: I will admit I skimmed this one very quickly in order to write a letter to a student about it. However, I think I got a bunch of main ideas. It seems very heavy on science terminology--I'm not sure how well the science terms were first introduced. At some point I should go back and reread for the ethical problem. It may be a good class discussion. It seems like Luciana's team somehow cheated at the robotics competition and were eliminated. I liked how the ending still managed to be happy while still facing the consequences, even if they were unrealistic.
