Review by Carson We.
Who would like this book? Both young adults and adults who like exciting books.
The goods on this book: This is a great book that is very exciting, and keeps you on your toes. The main characters are Peeta and Katniss. At the beginning of the story both Peeta and Katniss live in Panem, the future America. Every year, 24 kids are chosen for the Hunger Games (a boy and a girl from each district must fight to the death). Both Peeta and Katniss live in District 12, one of the poorest districts. At the beginning of the book, Katniss’ little sister is chosen for the Hunger Games. Automatically, Katniss took her spot, knowing she may be killed. Peeta was also chosen to participate for the Hunger Games. At first Peeta and Katniss don’t really know each other, but soon they become good friends.This book definitely shows that friendship comes from anywhere, from a battle field, to a schoolyard. I think that this book also shows you that you should be thankful for what you have, and not take things for granted.
The details: 374 pages; 2008 Review by Carson We
