The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson. I read it in middle school, although they later removed it from our library as it had some explicit themes. It was an amazing escape into an alien world, and an amazing alien species/civilization that I could not have imagined had I not read about it here. A human crash lands on this planet and is forced to live with and adapt to this bizarre species and their way of life. Reading this in my mind was more like living it. Eventually I bought a copy second hand for myself. It was one of only two books that I brought with me when I moved to the other side of the world years ago and now I have trouble finding it. I wish there was a Kindle version.
