Books like Ender's Shadow: Battle School

This tale focuses on one of Ender's eventual lieutenants, Bean, who grows up in the slums and is eventually singled out for his brilliant mind at an incredibly young age. Bean takes a non traditional approach to dealing with the slums as well as Battle School.It's a nice angle on Bean which wasn't covered in the first Orson Scott Card novel. The artwork is grittier especially in the slum sections of the tale.The script was by Mike Carey with a number of artists including Sebastian Fiumana and Giulia Brusco. Orson Scott Card was the Creative and Executive Director for this project.CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B plus to A minus; STORY/PLOTTING: B; ARTWORK PRESENTATION: B; BEAN FOCUS: B plus; WHEN READ: early August 2012;OVERALL GRADE: B to B plus.
