The Hunger Games

Genre: Young Adult, science fiction, survival
Grade Level: 6th-8th
Readers who will like this: Children that enjoy science fiction novels with a survival spin.
Response/Rating (1-4): 4; This is a beautifully written story about a girl named Katniss that bravely volunteers in place of her sister for the Hunger Games. This is set in a post apocalyptic world that consists of twelve districts. Each district is to send a girl and a boy under the age of 18 to fight to the death in The Hunger Games. This story is violent and can sometimes evoke anger but the plot and characters make it well worth the read.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever thought what you would do if you had to survive on your own?
