Enders Game = WIN

Unfortunately his subsequent books have been a bit meh

AS for Harry Potter - meh im not impressed - There are much beter novels where children learn magic (Magic of Recluse comes to mind..)

The whole mixing magic with present day schtick is done much much better by Charles DeLint (You all should read trader sometime - the main character Max Trader is a luthier)

I can probably actually name 10 fantasy books off the top of my head that have the disadvantaged kid in a new school-like setting... that all predate harry potter.
