Mockingjay To Come Out August 24th
The cover and title for the third Hunger Games book has just come out!
This series is a MUST read for both boys and girls. Filled with action, and pain, future and politics, you even have your love triangles. The Hunger Games has been named best teen book of 2009 and I find that I cant disagree.
It's a very hard book to describe and I dont think any reviewer could give these books justice, but honestly try the book even if you dont like the reviews you hear. This is not a "BEACH READ" this is a "CLASSIC TO BE". For the first time here is Barnes and Nobels description: After losing her soul mate, Cameron, when they were nine, Jennifer, now seventeen, transformed herself from the unpopular fat girl into the beautiful and popular Jenna, but Cameron's unexpected return dredges up memories that cause both social and emotional turmoil.
