Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
★ ★ ★ ★ 1/2
Ender’s Game is a fictional adventure about a boy named Andrew who goes by Ender. A man named Graff comes to take Ender from his parents, his older brother, Peter, who will kill him, no joke, and his loving sister Valentine who shed the most tears at his departure. The book is about Ender’s journey through battle school with his fear of turning into a killing machine like Peter. He is good at playing training games, but will that work when the real war has to be fought?
I love this book because Ender is such a determined person. I think that Orson Scott Card has a great view of Ender and equality. I think it should be recommended for ages 9+. I would give it 4 1/2 stars.
