Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Ender's Game was not my typical choice in books. It has violence, murder, bullying, and war. Although it was against my moral values, this book was full of excitement and kept my on my toes.
Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is a young boy who was born into a future that has suffered two major alien invasions. At a young age children get a monitor planted in their necks to determine whether they are good enough to be sent to Battle School to train to fight the "Buggers". Peter, Ender's brother, was chosen to go train at Battle School, but in the long run is not nearly good enough to help. When Ender gets chosen, Peter gets extremely jealous of him and plots to begin take over the world.
When Ender is sent to Battle School, he is faced with problems most other cadets aren't put up to. Ender is successful in all of this training and quickly climbs the ladder.
I fully recommend this book to mature children at least to the age of ten. It is captivating and alluring to the mind of anyone who reads it. Card does a wonderful job at creating a scene in the reader's mind.
