Ender's Game
It’s fast-moving. It’s easy to read. And it’s packed with so much…. feeling. That’s the only way I can describe it. You just empathize so much with little Ender Wiggins, the child that is the story’s main character.

The Girl with the Louding Voice
One of the things I love about this book is the voice. It’s so distinct that you really feel as if you’re talking with the heroine — that she’s a real, live, breathing person.
