Don't get too comfortable thinking that Katniss and Peeta will have life easy now that the Hunger Games are over. No, no, no. Not when the author is Suzanne Collins. In The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, Ms. Collins takes her readers on another emotional roller coaster. Afterall, this year is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Hunger Games so these games will be a Quarter Quell - a unique, never-before played version of the game. Those in the Capitol who plan the Quarter Quell have a surprise in mind. Remember, Katniss and Peeta defied the Capitol establishment; they are not happy about that.If you're like me and have been taken in by these stories, you'll want to borrow Catching Fire from your library soon - but read The Hunger Games first. The citizens of Panem are in an uproar but will they be able to stop the madness of the Hunger Games? How can these disparate regions join together in a revolution? Will they be able to? Some of those questions are answered in Catching Fire but much more is uncertain and lives are at stake.
I've tried to learn when the sequel will be published but since Catching Fire was just released, it may be awhile before we can read about Katniss and Peeta again. You may want to keep an eye on Suzanne Collins' website for updates.
See you at the library!
