Ender Wiggins is only 5 years old and while most children his age are starting kindergarden he's starting military training. In an epic tail of space combat and growing up Card takes us into a world where children are trained to fight the greatest threat the earth has ever encountered, an alien invasion. The story follows Ender as he deals with not only growing up but the fact that he has been both figurativly and literally singled out as the best of the best. Excellent character development you really feel as if you are right there with Ender, with the weight of the world weighing on his shoulders.
