The Ship who Searched by Anne McCaffrey & Mercedes Lackey

Description: A tale of courage and adventure, set in the same universe as 'The Ship Who Sang'. A precocious seven-year-old girl has been afflicted by a paralyzing alien virus, and cannot survive outside a mechanical support system. She straps on a spaceship and sets out to find what it was that laid her low.

It all began when Tia, a bright and spunky seven-year-old accompanying her exo-archaeologist parents on an EsKay dig, was afflicted by a mysterious neural disorder, one whose progressing symptoms finally permit her no life at all outside of some total mechanical support system. But like The Ship Who Sang, Tia won't be satisfied to glide through life like a ghost in a glorified wheelchair; like Helva, Tia is going to strap on a spaceship!
But Tia has also set herself on a special mission: to seek out whatever it was on the EsKay planet that laid her low, to come to understand and then eliminate it - so that no other little girl will ever suffer the fate of The Ship Who Searched.

Also in this series are The City and The Ship, The Ship Who Saved the Worlds, THE SHIP WHO SANG, Partnership, The City who Fought, The Ship Who Won Return to the Anne McCaffrey page, Mercedes Lackey page.
