This is more YA, but we have some fifth and sixth graders reading them too!
This is a new hunger. An insatiable hunger....clawing at the lining of your gut. Suzanne Collins sequel to the Hunger Games fills you to the brim only to leave you salivating for more! I must admit that being a devout and unyielding fan of the "Underland Chronicles" by Collins, I was not as impressed with the first book of the Hunger Games as maybe some of my fellow colleagues were. I thought maybe some of the ideas were tired and put to rest in much earlier, and overlooked, novels such as The Running Man and The Long Walk by Steven King. However, my faith has been restored with this second installment in the series. Collins does a superb job of engaging the reader with her fast moving plots and ever-changing direction of the novel. While these sudden jumps in plot would usually aggravate me, Collins seems to have perfected which scenes to move quickly through and which to drag out keeping the reader poised at every period.
Katniss Everdeen, "the girl on fire,"has returned to District 12 after a triumphant and successful run in the seventy-fourth Hunger Games. A "battle royal" of sorts, The Hunger Games is a televised battle to the death of 24 teenagers as an attempt to suppress rebellion against their reign by instilling fear throughout the districts. In the games she outsmarted the Capitol through threats of love-scorned suicide in a last-ditch effort to save both her and her district opponent, Peeta's, lives. Successful as she was, the Capitol isn't as pleased as fans of the games'. Her defiance against the Capitol has left those in power fearful of an uprising, and the members of the twelve districts questioning the power that they may truly have over their freedom. With her life as well as the lives of all those she cares about in danger, Katniss must discover just how far she must go to win the games.
