It's All A Game, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card- Liam

Ender Wiggin, the third in a family of child geniuses, is selected by international military forces to save the world from destruction. I really enjoyed the book, not because Ender is the smartest six year old kid to walk on planet Earth, but because it’s all up to him to save the world from  an alien race nicknamed the “buggers”. It was really interesting that Ender wore a unique monitor that allowed the heads of the military to see and feel things as Ender did. As a result, Ender was then chosen to go to an elite military school in space, far away from Earth, to practice strategies and skills to fight in the predicted war with the “buggers”.  I liked how I could visualize the children battling against each other, using laser guns that would freeze anyone who was hit, and wearing epic uniforms. If I were the author I would have given the “buggers” a better way of communicating to humans that they did not want to go to war again.
