catching fire

March 13, 2012


Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games series. The book is about how Katniss gets chosen to go into the Hunger Games for a second time. Normally this would be impossible since the gamemakers (the ones who make up the rules) decided that each person could only be in the games once. The only reason that Katniss goes to the games twice is that Catching Fire is about the 75th hunger games which is called a Quarter Quell. Every 25 years there is a Quarter Quell. When this happens the games have a special addition, one year each district had to choose two boys and two girls, instead of one person from each gender, to participate in the games. This time each district had to make a boy winner and girl winner go to the games and since Katniss was the only girl winner in district 12, she had to go. The cool thing about the winners going back to the games is that it makes it much harder to survive with or without allies. This also makes it a much more exciting book, because everyone has already won the games before.

I would strongly suggest that you read The Hunger Games first if you want to read Catching Fire. I would recommend this book to kids from 5th grade to adult because it really goes into detail about how some people die; in some places it is pretty gory.

Catching Fire

by: Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy is another action-packed fast moving novel by Suzanne Collins. From fighting to death in the arena to anticipating

President Snow's harsh decisions the reader has a hard time

putting the book down. This book also offers a unique

connection with the characters for the reader.

This is a great book that I would recommend to

 anybody looking for a good book.
