Hello-
I have a patron who would like to reread a science fiction
book she read. It is about a boy who goes to another planet
where no one is allowed to use the word "I". Can anyone help?
Thank you

Seems unlikely that this is the work originally sought, since that
said it was a "boy" (rather than a man) who visits the planet, but
just in chase...

I was assuming from description of original plot (specifying a
boy space traveller) that the book was a juvenile--but maybe not.
