false 552987 3 Orson Scott Card offers a Christmas gift to his millions of fans with this short novel set during Ender'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. 2239193 book 30 10 2007 A War of Gifts (Ender Saga) total:1001|5:187|4:370|3:335|2:96|1:13| 1001 3625 1522 162 5 2 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 02 09:44:47 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 02 09:57:14 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Dec 04 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 06:30:19 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 06:30:19 -0800 2008 A War of Gifts isn't even a nove...more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 02:05:32 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 15:08:35 -0800 2008 1
