"WAITING ON WEDNESDAY"

CATCHING FIRE (Hunger Games series #2)

by Suzanne Collins

This one is not out until September, but I can't wait. My students will not stop asking when it comes out. Asking won't make come out any faster, but they refuse to believe it. Hurray! Please!

Summary courtesy of Barnes & Noble:

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.
