And push him, they do.Įnder’s Game is a masterpiece, which is why it is required reading at many high schools. It doesn’t matter that Ender doesn’t want to kill anyone it’s what he is good at and will become great at with the right push. As the children study how to fight, Ender finds himself at the center of an immense web of manipulations, all designed to turn him into the Commander that Earth needs to defend itself. What follows is Ender’s journey through Battle School, where his brilliance generates both respect and hatred from the other children. But Colonel Graff tells Ender that the world needs him, and Ender believes him. He especially doesn’t want to leave behind his beloved sister Valentine, though he will not miss his psychopathic brother Peter. The experiment succeeds, but Ender doesn’t want to go to Battle School. He was allowed to be born in the hopes that he will be a genius like his two older siblings, but with the correct temperament for Battle School. Eventually, these children will become the pilots, commanders, and soldiers that will save the human race from extinction.Įnder is a governmentally approved Third child in a world with a strict two-child rule. The whole world waits with bated breath for the Third Invasion and sends its best and brightest children to Battle School when they are six years old to be trained in strategy and warfare. Earth has been attacked twice by the Buggers-aliens attempting to colonize Earth’s solar system.
