Catching Fire Spreads Reading Fever

Review by a 4th-grade guest blogger

Catching Fire  By Suzanne Collins

After the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Melark return home to District 12 but they are still afraid President Snow and others in the Capitol are thirsty for revenge.

Relationships Katniss had at home have changed forever. Gale doesn’t trust Katniss or Peeta, and none of them can go back to their old lives. Katniss wants to run away, but before she can the Capitol announces she and Peeta must return to the deadly ring for an unusual Quarter Quell. Before the games begin again, President Snow visits Katniss to threaten her personally. Then she learns she is the Mockingjay, the one who inspired other districts to start uprisings.

The Mockingjay Started a War

In the Quarter Quell, Katniss finds some of her enemies are working with her and Peeta. Near the end of the games, the mysterious District 13 rescues her, Finnick, and Beetee. When she wakes up, she finds out the war has broken out and District 12 was bombed to nothingness. Katniss the Mockingjay has started a war, but she doesn’t like what’s happening because of it.
