Brief Annotation: Katniss is back in the games, for one of the most interesting Hunger Games yet. Facing past victors and people she loves, how will she ever choose her allies and get out alive? A rebellion is starting in the district of Panam, will Katniss be ready to be their leader? The second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy, proves to be just as engulfing as the first.
Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy
Grade Level: 3rd and up
Readers who will like this: Readers who like a dystopia society, readers who like adventure but don't mind brutality and fighting.
Rating (1-4)/Response: 4. This book was just as good as the last. It was engaging the whole way through and the details and creativeness of the arena were great. The underground story of rebellion and revenge on the Capitol is rising in this book and it makes you want to pick up number three straight away.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever had something bad happen to you, gotten through it and then had another bad thing happen to you?
