The children come from many nations, many religions; while they are being trained for war, religious conflict between them is not on the curriculum. But Dink Meeker, one of the older students, doesn't see it that way. He thinks that giving gifts isn't exactly a religious observation, and on Sinterklaas Day he tucks a present into another student's shoe. This small act of rebellion sets off a battle royal between the students and the staff, but some surprising alliances form when Ender comes up against a new student, Zeck Morgan. The War over Santa Claus will force everyone to make a choice. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Card's GiftA War of Gifts is a wonderful, if brief, tale about finding meaning in your life even when the extant circumstances seem to strip away that resolve at every fork in the road. Where do you turn in these situations? How do you sum up the courage to keep pressing on?

It is really hard to go back in and write a story that fits in with a story you wrote 23 years ealier and make it work. Card does it with this book. I really enjoyed it! Rating:  - Not enough depth to call it a great bookI got this book as a Christmas gift. At 126 pages it is the shortest book in the Ender series. Although the book is called an Ender Story there is very little of Ender in the book. Most of the book follows other boys in the battle school. One of the children is Zeck, a young boy that was selected for the battle school because of his photographic memory. Zeck was raised by a religious zealot that would punish him for not being pure enough. Zeck is an outsider in the school because ...

This doest mean that is not possible to leaf through, it is only looks ugly. Rating: - Can't disassociate the author's politicsGiven Card's recent radical comments about government and personal rights, I don't think I could ever enjoy another of his books
