knocks her two front teeth out in a accident, what follows is
her crazy sixth grade year. Filled with fake friends,
headgear, braces, crushes, embarrassment and Raina trying

5. Ender’s Game (cont.)
This book really screwed with my mind and my feelings. I
hated the government people who were controlling Ender
and I hated how Ender didn’t know what was happening
until the end. My favorite part was when he was a
commander and he whooped everyone else (I also really
enjoyed Ender’s Shadow, the same story but from Bean’s
point of view).
