How about an anti-birth control story where the third child (In a world where like, you know, only 2 children are normally allowed) becomes trapped naked in a bathroom with a mean bully, so he brutally murders him to escape... then goes on to commit widespread genocide. Young girls love that stuff.
Oh wait, Ender's Game is already on your list. Oops.
Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge, which won a Hugo Award, is by far the clearest example and best suggestion I can think of, but I'm not seeing it on the Amazon Kindle market. Shucks, what I get for trying to be witty.
Regardless of the quality of Ender's Game, that is incredibly misleading.
Yeah, the anti-population-control screed is the prequel about Ender's parents.
Oh, okay, well I've only read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. Damn it and here I thought I was being moderately insightful pointing out that theme, but he went and made it the whole plot of a prequel.
Oh well, I still thinks its a rather silly selection for a pre-teen girl.
