Lula and the Rainbow Rocket

Lula’s an exceptionally talented girl who is into everything. She is especially good at sports and longs to be brilliant at all she does. After an accident, Lula becomes a wheelchair user and her pluck, strength of character and faith help her to make a remarkable recovery.

When Lula warns a lonely and eccentric old man that the school bully and her gang are about to plunder his garden shed, he lends her something with an extraordinary power. Lula and the bully find themselves  thrown together in a magical land where there’s no end of suspense and excitement. But will they ever get home again?
