Stranger in a Strange Land

This book is Robert Heinlein at his best. It tells the story of a boy abandoned on Mars to live with the Martians. And how the martians have taken an abandoned child from another planet and train him in their ways. When the boy is finally returned to Earth he is a teen full of curiosity over theses strange beings that for all intents and purposes look like him. They act very strangly though and as the book progresses you see how the now young man in his frustration begins to unwind and go back to doing things the Martian way.
