Explaining this while restricting myself purely to description is impossible, as the novel works precisely because of implication of things left unsaid.

Doing a google reality check I get six hundred thousand hits for "Ender's Game" (enquoted). So (even though I've never heard of it), it seems to have gotten a substantial appreciation base. For interpretive claims, we, as expert editors, shouldn't need to rely on our own words or interpretation or analysis with that level of interest. There should be several published book reviews that could be cited for that sort of claim. Right?
