Man. When you’re a boy genius, everyone wants a piece of you. Your peers hate you for being smarter than them, your teachers and parents don’t know what to do with you, and eventually the Powers That Be will want you working for them, fighting a war that you don’t even understand. If you were a “smart kid” growing up, you are probably familiar with at least a few of the conditions described above.OK, maybe not the whole government-coming-after-you thing that I described. In Orson Scott Card’s view of the future, conditions just get worse. Those friends become more violent in their hatered, the enemy is a race of aliens no one has ever seen before; not to mention the whole zero-gravity thing that has to be contended with. Ender, the book’s hero, has a lot to deal with before he even hits puberty. I wonder how he will handle high school.
