Mattie Masters Smith (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781917907521)

Mattie has one dream that guides her through life. She wants to become a spaceship captain like her uncle. The only problem with that is that the Lunar Academy does not accept females. Mattie launches a campaign for the right to attend the only college for those wishing to become Spacers. She engages the media and goes on a T.V. show that does interviews of People in the News. But there is a reason why females are excluded from the moon-based academy, and Mattie must circumvent that as well. Will she succeed? Will she become the first female student at Lunar Academy?
