by Suzanne Collins Published by Scholastic Press ISBN: 978-0545586177 400 pgs. Student review by Briley A. In Catching Fire, a girl named Katniss Everdeen is threatened by her president, President Snow. She was in the Hunger Games and almost started a rebellion because she brought out night-lock berries that kill you instantly and almost took them with her 'boyfriend' Peeta Malark. The people who control the games had to end the game in a tie. Everyone went crazy and a lot of people died because of it. Katniss was sent home. Then she heard the news on TV that every 25 years they have a Quarter Quell when something really strange happens to the games. President Snow would pick an envelope out of a box and some thing different happens, like double the tributes, but it's not that. It was that all the people who won come back and fight a second time. So Katniss is sent back into the games with Peeta and then very exciting and disturbing things happen in this amazing sequel to The Hunger Games. |
