BOOKS

This is one of my favorite books, and it is also a fairly old book, too. This is a good book because it is about a seven year old kid who gets drafted into a university in space to learn vital skills to be able to be a pawn, or to learn to lead the pawns. Ender Wiggen is the main character and in the end he is eleven. He learns how to lead, how to overcome unfair advantages, and keep his troops with high enough moral to continue on fighting and winning.

When the mangled remains of nature photographer Cliff Benson are found in the woods near Hyde River, his brother, Steve, investigates the gory mauling. After finding problems with a theory involving a bear attack, he teams up with local sheriff's deputy Tracy Ellis. As the deaths continue and the townsfolk are pressed for information, they close ranks, under the mysterious "Oath" made when the town was founded. Steve and Tracy grow closer to each other as they peel away the mystery and come face to face with the dark evil behind the deaths.
