Maybe a bit of insight into new children in Battle School? How religious students coped? Anyway, I am very ready to be done with this long series. ( ) Short story about Zeck, one of the children at the Battle School, and about Christmas and the giving of gifts. Zeck as pacifist to the extreme and has to handle the conflict between his religious views being discarded and forbidden, and people wanting to give gifts for Christmas. The book is ok, but nothing special. This short story from Battle School is a masterful piece of psychological drama. My daughter has been reading all the Ender books and picked this one up in the library - and told me to read it. I was kind of tired and figured I'd read a little and then go to sleep - but after reading the first couple pages I was reminded how great a writer Card was. I finished the book before bed. I was hooked the entire time. no reviews | add a review

HTML: From the #1 New York Times bestseller At the Battle School, there is only one course of study: the strategy and tactics of war. Humanity is fighting an alien race, and we fight as one. Students are drawn from all nations, all races, all religions, taken from their families as children. There is no room for cultural differences, no room for religious observances, and there is certainly no room for Santa Claus. But the young warriors disagree. When Dink Meeker leaves a Sinterklaaus Day gift in another Dutch student's shoe, that quiet act of rebellion becomes the first shot in a war of wills that the staff of the Battle School never bargained for. Orson Scott Card's novel Ender's Game is the basis of the hit movie of the same name. .No library descriptions found. |
