11-year-old Lucy's family has fallen from grace. Her intelligent mother, who once worked as a professor at a college, can barely take care of her two daughters. With no dad in the picture, Lucy is the one taking care of her mother. Out of necessity she is very mature for her age. They live in a trailer park and Lucy is already thinking of her future. She knows she wants a better life. If only she can win the robotics competition, she'll win enough money to help pay for college.
There are several major episodes that perfectly describe how insane and incompetent Lucy's mother can be when she is off her medication. One is the time her mom wakes her up in the middle of the night to go look at the northern lights. Another is when she loses control in the principal's office.
