Acorna in Extra Large Print, Kindle compatible. Summary
|
Acorna is an alien infant, jettisoned in an escape pod when her parent's spaceship is attacked. She is rescued and raised by three itinerant asteroid miners. She has strange shaped hands and feet and a horn in the center of her forehead. She has amazing powers to detect poisons and purify them and grows much more quickly than a human infant. The miners have a series of adventures when corporate scientists seek to analyze Acorna and later when their conniving uncle seeks to collect her as a wife. Fleeing to another planet for refuge, they learn of deplorable practices cruelly exploiting child labor. Through her inspiration and power to heal she eventually becomes the catalyst for planet-wide change. This is an Extra Large Print publication specifically formatted by the Virginia M. Woolf Foundation for people who have trouble reading ordinary size print. This file, when downloaded and transferred, can be used on the Kindle or any Mobi compatible device. The print in this version is equivalent to 20 point type. The largest print on the Kindle is ordinarily equivalent to 16 point type; the reader can reduce the size if desired. There are links from the Table of Contents to the text. |
