Every once in a while, I feel the need to insert a little science fiction into my reading list. I believe I read a review that alerted me to this particular book years ago when I was in Peace Corps. I was never able to find it at my local libraries, but stumbled across it at a recently discovered (awesome) bookswap. It's the story of two civilizations, who expressly are avoiding other civilizations for their own reasons, colliding and trying to figure out how to coexist. It's a super quick read and, while it won't become my most favorite sci-fi book ever, it was still quite enjoyable.

Read this in my teens and absolutely loved it. Typical McCafferey style interpersonal drama, with some lessons on acceptance and friendship along the way.
