    About this ebook

    “Lonely Child” is a sci-fi story of a young boy’s wish to be able to walk on our planet’s surface. He was born in zero gravity and has lived there since birth with his parents on a mining and transport vessel supplying Earth. The boy has the opportunity to start talking to school kids his age on the surface and eventually realises that despite how trapped he feels on the ship, to the children on the planet he is the one free and living an adventure.
