<p>“Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card. Our son read it repeatedly, along with the rest of the series, from middle school through high school. Upon arrival at USNA, he found that it was required reading for his English class plebe year and he has read it at least twice more for classes there. It doesn’t have anything to do with the academies, but does portray a “Battle School” of the future. Excellent read.</p>
