Luciana’s Story: an Aspiring Astronaut
American Girl Luciana Vega is an aspiring astronaut, ready to explore Mars. Her warm brown eyes open and close. Her straight dark-brown hair has a bright purple streak. Like all American Girl dolls, she has a huggable cloth body and smooth vinyl limbs. In her first book, Luciana heads to space camp and is chosen to lead her team in a robot challenge. She learns the value of teamwork and becoming someone her crew can depend on.
Playtime with Luciana is a fun chance to learn about the galaxy! Kids can look up how far Mars is from Earth or color constellation pages.

Why We Love American Girl Luciana Vega
Luciana fits perfectly into the American Girl collection. She has the same great quality as the other dolls. Her shiny boots make a statement, and my girls love the purple streak in her hair. Best of all, her outfit and accessories send a fun message: girls can enjoy both fashion and science.
Luciana makes learning about space exciting. American Girl dolls bring imaginative play together with relatable stories, and it is so fun to collect their outfits over time.
