Thank you I was beginning to feel that my clue was hopelessly bad and that nobody would ever get it. I'm sorry if it was too vague.

You have to know Orson Scott Card's book The speaker for the dead, I think Orual's title is speaker for the dead.

Yes the hint was Card's Ender which is of course related to the series Ender's Game. A later book was Speaker for the Dead and his PT is Speaker of the Dead. Sorry for having such an awful clue.

It wasn't an awful clue morm, we're just not well-read enough to know the answer

I thought it was a good clue! I never even thought to look at peoples titles, from now on I will! Good job Morm for the question and good job to Jenny for getting it! Nice to see another person who has read the books (besides me and Jenny)

*hits self in head* I adore that series, and I didn't get it.... I must be losing my mind. So Jenny's clue is up next?
