Libby was born with a heart three sizes too big. She takes daily
shots, can't do monkey bars, and doesn't always read social cues.
But having Turner Syndrome doesn't mean she can't be a scientist
when she grows up. Besides her big sister Nonny, Libby's hero is
astronomer Cecilia Payne, who discovered what stars are made of.
When Nonny comes home to stay and tells Libby that she and her
husband Thomas are having a baby, Libby knows what to do: She'll
make Cecilia Payne the subject of her entry into a contest, and
give all the first-place prize money - twenty-five thousand
dollars! - to Nonny's growing family. But it'll take more tenacity
than she's ever needed to help take care of the sister who has
always taken care of her, all while navigating school with a unique
set of challenges.
