The series is set after Ender's Game and is set in Battle School, which has been renamed to Fleet School, a school run by Hyrum Graff where kids learn how to become commanders of the colonies they will lead and form on other planets. The protagonist and lead character is 10-year-old Dabeet Ochoa.[4][5]
Gavin Hood, director of the Ender's Game film, stated that if a sequel were to happen it could potentially be the first book in the Fleet School series, Children of the Fleet.[6][7] There are currently no plans for a sequel.
The book received positive reviews by Deseret News,[8] Publishers Weekly,[9] RT Book Reviews[10] and Den of Geek.[11] Forbes called it "Orson Scott Card's best since Ender's Game".[12]
