This Book’s Genre is Sci-Fi
The elements of Sci-Fi in my book contain of futuristic technology, monsters, and secret space stations that they use to train kids. Why my book’s genre is sci-fi is because most of the scenes are up in space or battles in space that are being monitored or controlled by the main character. Also the time of the book is in the future and everything is advanced, like the star ships/airplanes, all the high tech guns and weapons. They also have a space stations with a kind of artificial gravity. this is a quote about a futuristic scanner that supports the idea of this books genre being sci-fi, ” Ender found the scanner, a sheet of opaque plastic.”
