As for many other guys that went through Jr. High, there were few books that held my interest from start to finish. Ender's game is a classic that I could not put down. It chronicles the military education of six year old Andrew 'Ender' Wiggin. The teachers at the Battle School are out to find the next commander for their interstellar fleet that will confront the possible 3rd invasion of the 'buggers'. Even though Ender is the youngest student in Battle School history, the teachers quickly recognize Ender's potential and are brutal in pushing him to the brink. This is an adventure that none could read and finish feeling 'let down'. Throughout the novel, Card has the reader constantly wondering how Ender will come out on top. This is officially one of my favorite books of all time.
