Ender’s World edited by Card - PUBLIC


Card, Orson Scott, ed.  Ender’s World, 304 p. BenBella Books, 2012.  $15.  Violence: PG (recountings of violence in the original book).  

So, I picked this up thinking that Card had written another book in this much beloved series.  Instead, it is a series of essays about the books.  Which is fine, just not what I wanted.  From Neal Shusterman, David Lubar, Hilari Bell and Alethea Kontis, among others, the essays and intriguing, thought-provoking and certainly open for argument or interpretation – but I don’t see this getting much traffic in a school library, unless it is picked up by a teacher for classroom use.
