Acorna
Acorna: The Unicorn Girl | Margaret Ball, ANNE. BALL MCCAFFREY (MARGARET.)
2 posts | 11 read | 1 to read
Three old space mining prospectors in their beat-up space ship discover a small pod floating in space. Inside is a tiny girl child, with funny little hooves, a wealth of silver hair growing on her body, and a lump in the middle of her forehead which, as time elapses, grows into a horn. It is a sort of unicorn. When the old prospectors come to sell their ores on the home planet controversy breaks out. Bureaucrats want to put her in a home and cut off her deformity, scientists want to study her and isolate her, and so the old three kidnap her back on their ship and go roaring off round the universe, having adventures, saving her, and finally having her save all the child slaves on a terrible planet called Kezdet. It is space opera at it's best and will be followed by more in the series, no doubt tracing Acorna to her home planet.

Found in my favorite indie bookstore. Apparently it is the 1st in a series too. Definitely looks interesting.

Serenity_34 I adored this series as a teen and reread them as an adult. Still a favorite. 5mo

#sweetsummerstack. My daughter and I read this book during summer vacation when she was about twelve. We had so much fun reading it together and it was the first book I thought of for a summer read. ❤️

Born.A.Reader I have almost all of this series (found at a used bookstore and it sounded intriguing enough for me to get all of them) -but I can't seem to get into it. Although it has been a few years...maybe I'll try again? 7y
Bklover @born.a.reader You know- I couldn't say whether to recommend it or not. I recently bought another copy so I could read it again but haven't done it yet. It was eons ago when I read it and I was reading it with my daughter so that it what I remember the most. Let me know if you try it again and I will post if I read my newer copy! 7y
Born.A.Reader @Bklover Will do! 😊 7y
