\"Girl<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Her mom’s research cut short,
Sky plans to continue it –
now is her chance! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skyler’s sole focus for years has been getting into MIT so she can further her late mother’s research on neutron stars<\/a>; her dad concentrates on bacterial research for the hospital; their paths cross occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow – a NASA contest that could get her onboard the International Space Station with the NICER telescope<\/a>! All the Las Vegas senior needs is the perfect video application\u2026 which means she needs help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiring classmate Cooper as videographer is easy, figuring out the script is tricky, hearing Dad forbid her to even try for this internship is impossible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in Dad dating a popular beauty influencer<\/a> he met in the hospital, Cooper’s sister needing tutoring to stay eligible for volleyball, and Sky fretting about upcoming SATs as the video deadline approaches\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the growing attraction between Sky and Cooper real?
Why would Cooper give up on his own dream career before it begins?
Why won’t Dad let Skyler go after hers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy book birthday (21 May 2024) to Shooting For Stars!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When have you taken a chance to make a dream happen?
