Ender's Game
Orson Scott Card
1985
Summary: Ender Wiggin is a very very very smart kid. A genius, really. He's one of a group of (yet more) genius children taught to be military leaders and save Earth from an inevitable attack by aliens, known as "buggers." Ender becomes unbeatable in war games and eventually starts getting to "play" bugger attack simulations, trained by ----. (Sorry - that would be a spoiler.) Meanwhile, his brother and sister plot various *evil-ish* scemes back on Earth. Very interesting and a good book. My favorite sci-fi, probably. (Kathleen K.)

Of course, the muggles (all of us non-wizards) would know nothing about this, but J.K. Rowling got it all written down.
