Ender's Game
In this nontraditional science fiction novel, the setting could be any time, any place; the characters could be any race. Orson Scott Card explores a child’s metamorphosis from innocent to sophisticate through the grown-up ideals of leadership and control and childlike desires of fairness and play. Ender's Game focuses on a society inclined to war but highlights the values of perseverance, self-reliance, and ability to overcome adversity.
