Awesome Read - The Hunger Games


What would you do if you were chosen to participate in a fight to the death? The Hunger Games is the first book in an awesome trilogy set in the future. In the future, the U.S. has completely collapsed and has been replaced by Panem, a country divided into 12 districts. Each year, 2 people from each district are brought in and forced to participate in Gladiator type games - a fight to the death. Katniss and Peeta, teenagers just like you, are chosen to represent their district and must fight stronger competition who have trained to be gladiators their entire lives. This is an exciting, action packed read that you will not be able to put down.
Book 2 in the series is called Catching Fire. And book 3 is scheduled to come out in August. You can click here for a countdown clock and fun and games based on the popular books (http://www.scholastic.com/thehungergames/).
