Ender's Game

by Orson Scott Card

In this novel in a great science-fiction series, there is much fear of a major war coming among the Buggers (aliens, or Formics) and humans. Kids are recruited in Battle School where they learn tactics and combat in space, trained to be battlefield commanders. Among these kid soldiers is a young boy-genius. His name is Andrew "Ender" Wiggin. Soon, Ender rises above his peers and gathers the admiration of many children in Battle School, most of them above his age. Immense pressure is burdened upon his back to save the human race from destruction. The intense stress of defeating the alien Buggers just might destroy him.

This book was AWESOME!!!  My dad got it from the library, and it was the best book I ever read (well, almost)!  I think everyone who loves science fiction should read this book.  Ender's Game is great even if you don't normally like science fiction, too.  READ IT!

Ender's game was, frankly, awesome. Intense. Lots of other things I can't explain. Five thumbs up.
