This is a great book that deal a lot with ethics, and war/violence and leadership. The plot revolves around Battle School, a place where children are trained to fight the "buggers" alien invaders who have attacked earth. The intellectual component is very engaging, It is definitely intended for an older audience since it deals with war and more complex themes.
Overall: 5 out of 5
Language: This book has more swearing than most books about children. There is also crude language, and six year old humor.
Violence: This book is about war, and training soldiers therefore it has much violence. Some of the violence is quite graphic and due to the age of the children it is brutal.
Morality: No explicit immorality.
