I could understand almost all words in this book. The main character of this story is Mary Mount who is alien. One day, her spaceship made an emergency landing in the earth. She survived this accident. Other astronauts were killed by earthlings. She was caught by earthlings and lived 20 years in the earth. Earthlings were very kind to her, she made many friends in the earth. She taught how to make spaceship to earthling. She went back to her planet after the 20 years of living in the earth. She became an bridge between the her planet and earth.

This story is very interesting. It is being written from alien's position. If it is possible to exchange cultures with the people in the other planets, it might be happy.

This book was easy to read, so I will try to read higher level books.
