Due to student requests, we recently acquired The Hunger Games which is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy. It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless and evil Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains.
The library also has the second book of the Trilogy, Catching Fire. The third book, Mockinjay, will be released in August, 2010. You can be sure we'll have that available when you begin school in the fall.Suzanne Collins
