Ender's Game is a kid's book?  I can't recall the last time I read a children's book in which the hero murders multiple people, advocates a final solution philosophy to resolve his conflicts, orchestrates a genocide.  I can't remember the last time I read a children's book in which the hero's big brother tortures him for fun, kills and dissects animals for fun.  Or in which the word "nigger" is used multiple times.  Or which contains scenes depicting human brains splatt---

Did you even read the books?

I would explain Ender's Game to you, but you seem to lack the requisite capacity for thought.  It is, in actuality, a Great Book.  It is complex and rich with meaning in the tradition of all great literature.  Consider for just a second that the title of the book may not refer to Ender's war with the Buggers.  Consider that his "Game" might be something else entirely.  Now remember the layers upon layers of games that exist within the book.  Buggers and Astronauts.  The Giant's Drink.  The Battle Room.  Demosthenes and Locke.  Etc.  There was so much happening underneath the surface of that book it would blow your mind if you sat and thought about it for a few minutes.
