Ender's Game
By Orson Scott Card
THIS IS NOT A GAME
These people are taking away kid's childhoods so that they can go to battle school to be taught how to fight aliens in a virtual game. Or so they thought. When Ender was at battle school, he changed everyone's point of view. He gained a new perspective on life and the way they lived.
Who's going to to save the world now? Does the world even need to be saved? If one thing's for sure, it's that this is not a game.
