Catching Fire

by Suzanne Collins
PRMS hardcover 391 pages
genre: YA adventure, futuristic, survival

Sequel to The Hunger Games, I can hardly wait for book three to come out this summer! I'm not going to write much about it, because I hate spoilers and I'm so thankful that none of my students spoiled this one for me. This was not predictable and the almost-400 pages felt far too short. What an engaging scenario Collins has created! It's both horrifying and fascinating. Reminiscent of Jackson's The Lottery, it has appealing characters in Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Cinna, and even Haymitch.
