Book Description:
"I must find my own kind!" Found as an infant drifting in space, Acorna, the Unicorn Girl, has become a young woman. She still has her tiny, translucent horn, and her "funny" feet and hands. And, she still has her miraculous ability to make plants grow and heal human sickness. But Acorna has strange dreams of a gentle folk who mind-speak by touching horns.
With her "Uncle" Calum, one of the three grizzled asteroid prospectors who rescued, protected, and raised her, she sets off to find her people. No sooner does she leave than a mysterious craft appears, piloted by the Linyaari, a gentle race with telepathic powers. The Linyaari are roaming the galaxy, spreading the alarm about the deadly Khleev -- and searching for a beloved little girl they had given up for lost, long ago...

If you like to read fantasy, then you have to read this book. it's a fantastic journey.

This was a fun sci-fi series. If you want an easy "bed-time" read, I would highly suggest this one. (Acorna is the first of the series, read that first, read in order)

pleasant without being great; a little too much repetition to allow for readers who haven't read the first book.

Hubby and I both enjoyed it immensely. I think it was better than the first one and am looking forward to the next.

This is light reading but very enjoyable.

it's a cute series, but not up to par with some of Mccaffrey's earlier ones.

Acorna has reached adulthood and feels inexplicably drawn to search for her own kind. No sooner does she leave then they arrive, spreading a warning about a dangerous race conquering planets and searching for that lost little girl. This series, as McCaffrey's often are, isn't numbered, but this is probably the 2nd book in the series.
