I hit my lifetime tolerance for heroic tales of children drafted into draconian, high mortality super-soldier programs justified as required for the greater good sometime around the end of the novel version of Ender's Game. Please adjust your story lines accordingly.

I mean, it's not like I would forbid a middle-school/junior-high kid under my jurisdiction to read it; but if such a kid were to ask me for suggestions, Ender's Game would not be the first book to come to mind, nor even the 500th book.
