Description
Orson Scott Card offers a Christmas gift to his millions of fans with A War of Gifts, a short novel set during Ender Wiggin's first years at the Battle School where it is forbidden to celebrate religious holidays.
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.

Good story
5By Herr Herr1Good storyGreat for any Enders' Game Fan
4By Super VenzYou have to read Ender's Game first... Isn't that obvious?Hmmmmmm
3By KeDIX1414Ok, so I love ender's game. This book fell a little short for me. The ending was bizarre, and the book painted a twisted view of Christianity. It is so twisted that i laughed at some points. The sermon was just hysterically off base. found it to be an interesting read. I don't regret it, but this one isn't on my list of favorites,Okay short story
4By Saabgirl9000This books was okay. It was a short story, and gave a little insight to other people at the battle school. I don't think that it was really worth the money though.Fantastic
4By givenzgangA great continuation for the Enders game saga but overpriced like heck.Good book!
4By Kilo LocoOnly thing that stopped this book from being 5 stars was the fact that it's over priced for such a short read, but the content was great.
