Hello Folks,
The Demmies: A Novel, by Ann K. Parsons is now on Bookshare.
I’m trying to think of all the lists that might be appropriate, but if I’ve missed any, I’m sure someone here will cover it.
The link to it is:
https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/1845502 <https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/1845502>
Here’s the Synopsis:
*
The demmies were the public's darlings, but they led a double life. By day, they
posed for pictures, were guests on TV shows, and helped to increase knowledge about
genetic engineering by taking part in scientific experiments. By night, they faced
Dr. Albert Lud's unauthorized experiments and his torture. Was there something
better for the genetically engineered, foot-high humans? Could they escape? If they
did, could they find food, shelter, and freedom from the ogre who tormented them?
Could they trust any of the "big folk" to help them? These were some of the questions
that kept Alex Kenyon awake at night. His daughter Ruth wondered what made a human
being. Was it size? Was it intelligence? Was it belief in God? What made her know
she was a human being, even though only nine inches tall? This is the story of how
Alex's and Ruth's questions are answered.

The scan was good, and Lissi read every word of the book.
Enjoy!
Evan
