Their rare allergy, known as polymorphic light reaction, means that sunlight
makes them break out in rashes and blistering. even a bright light bulb is too
much for them. they spend most of their time in a darkened house.
The space suits allow them to explore the world outside in daylight. the
suits are fitted with a battery operated cooling system. in fact, the boys'
grandfather says other children think their space suits are really cool.
