Shadow of the Giant (Ender's Shadow Series #4) »

With a raft of science fiction awards and a dedicated following, Orson Scott Card writes imaginative and compelling novels that also explore questions about morality and religion. His Ender series is the most popular; but he also offers a fresh take on the Bible in his Women of Genesis books and has authored other history-based fantasy series.

Life on the streets is tough. But if Bean has learned anything, it’s how to survive. Not with his fists. Bean is way too small to fight. But with his brain. Like his colleague and rival Ender Wiggin, Bean has been chosen to enroll in Battle School. And like Ender, Bean will be called upon to perform an extraordinary service for humanity. A reader’s guide is available for this Starscape edition—perfect reader readers ten and up—of the parallel novel to the extraordinary Ender’s Game.

Booklist

"Like Card''s idolized Battle School alumni, novels in this saga (not to mention Card himself) have acquired an irresistible aura."
