Catching Fire

Catching fire is the second book of the serise The Hunger Games.The main characters are Peeta and Katniss. Katniss and Peeta are pretending to be madly in love with each other, But President Snow is not convinced that they are in love. After they finish the victory tour they a forced to be put in to a special editoin of another Hunger Games... but this time the game makers are determined you only have one trubute come out of the games. In the special Hunger Games all of the winning trubutes must go back to the Hunger Games. Peeta and Katniss get put into the arena, very nervous. and wanting each other to be the winning tributes. I've really enjoyed this book because it makes me not want to put the book down, because of how intriguing it is.I think that most teenagers would like this book because there is a love story and there is a lot of action. Peeta said “I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever. One of my favorite parts was when the fog was coming in on them and they all had to work together to save each other.
