Acorna in Extra Large Print 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. Access to each chapter is from a linked menu. You can print and reduce the size with the Adobe Reader. You will receive versions in 18 and 28 point type and an ASCII version. The 18 point version contains 559 pages; the 28 point version contains 938 pages. Notice: eBook download size will be 1.53MB. |
