Looking for a good book to read?

Looking for a good book to read? You found the right place! I love Young Adult Literature and love recommending interesting titles to my students even more. This blog will recommend titles of YA Literature that I have recently read and want others to discover as well. Enjoy! Under each post is the "Comment" option. Feel free to share your opinions about each of the books so that other students can read your opinions as well.

The Hunger Games series

Title: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay
Author: Suzanne Collins
Genre: Science Fiction

You would like this book if:
  • You are human...just kidding, but honestly, I haven't heard one negative review from any student so far.
  • You like books that are action-packed.
  • You like books that keep up reading at night instead of sleeping.
  • You like to read about how people survival in very difficult environments.
  • You like to read about characters rebelling against the government.
You wouldn't like this book if:
  • You can't visualize action scenes in your head.
  • You like a book to grab your interest on the first few pages (hang on until Chapter 3).
  This series of books follows a brave young woman, Katniss, as she continually answers to and rebels against the demands of the Capitol.  Each of the 12 districts are required to send 2 teenagers, one male and one female, to participate in their annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death where only one victor survives.  Without giving away anything about the two following books, I will say this: things only get more complicated in the subsequent books.  Here's a little secret though:  my favorite book of the 3 is Catching Fire
