The entire series, by Suzanne Collins, is amazing. The first book, The Hunger Games, is about a dystopian future, where the government, in order to stay in control, has twenty-four contestants ages 12-18 fight to the death in a battle called, The Hunger Games. The entire country watches the games live, on television, as if it were the Olympics. The winner of the Hunger Games is the only contestant to survive. If the summary wasn't enough of a warning for you, this book has violent, gorey imagery. I suggest kids be at least 13 before they read the book. |
| Catching Fire is the second book in the series |
Catching Fire is about a special Hunger Games edition, where past tributes compete against each other...and it's amazing. This book doesn't end, because the third book continues the story. Good thing all three books are out!
The third, and final, book in the series is Mockingjay. This book is just as action-packed as its predecessors; it has a bizarre love triangle, power-hunger leaders, and a few surprises along the way.
Here are the German book covers. Aren't they intriguingly beautiful?
