The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Are you looking for something for your daughter to read post-Twilight?

Problem solved: give them The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The sequel, Catching Fire, will be out on September 1st. I just finished it and it is fantastic, a sequel that lives up to the original book. And we have one more on the way to complete the trilogy--happiness on my face!

Run, don't walk, to your nearest independent bookstore and pick up a copy of The Hunger Games. You won't be sorry, and you'll want to read it yourself. Katniss, the feisty, independent heroine, is so much more fun than Bella, and the plot line is enthralling.

[Manager's comment: This book is getting rave reviews from your younger readers. At a talk I gave on new books to a local elementary school, this was one of the most talked about books! And a teen customer came in one day to hear me talking about it to another customer. She added that it's got such an interested story line with endless twists and turns. "I was never bored with this book." That testimonial sold the book to the woman who was trying to find something for her daughter to read.]
