The Hunger Games

 


The Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games synopsis:

Could you survive on your own in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. 

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before- and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weight survival against humanity and life against love.

Okay, this book is a classic, and no one can convince me otherwise. If you've never read it, read it now! Suzanne Collins' new Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise On the Reaping, is coming out, so hurry and check this book out! You will have so much fun rooting for Katniss in this thought-provoking first novel in the series.

Happy reading!

Content Warnings: There are a lot of intense scenes in this book that may unsettle sensitive readers. It deals with a lot of mature concepts that you'll want to look into if you're hesitant about starting the book. I'd recommend for ages 14+. Have fun!

  100 Days of Sunlight By Abbie Emmons 100 Days of Sunlight synopsis: When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside down. Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile... and no legs. Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition: no one can tell Tessa about his disability. And because she can't see him, she treats him with contempt- screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But for Weston, it's the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes ...

The Silence Between Us

  The Silence Between Us By Alison Gervais The Silence Between Us synopsis: Maya Harris is a Deaf teenager who is uprooted from her home and has to go to a Hearing school for the first time. When she meets Beau, a Hearing boy who seems just as ignorant as the rest of the students, she scorns his pathetic attempt at learning American Sign Language to communicate with her. Surely he would never be interested in a Deaf girl. But soon, their relationship changes, and Maya begins to fall for Beau. But she has to know- will he ever like her the way she is? Or will he always dwell on her disability? This book is so incredibly powerful and really demonstrates how valuable the Deaf community really is to our modern society. I love the relatable accuracy! And Beau is to DIE for! Please read this whenever you have the time- you won't regret it! There is nothing I thought was remotely unclean in this novel, so I would definitely recommend for ages 13+. Happy reading! -Lylia
