The book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins takes you back to Katniss Everdeen and her struggle to face the Capitol. When the 75th Hunger Games Quarter Quell comes around and news of who would be in the Hunger Games for the year, the Districts turn to rebellion. Peeta and Katniss are having a hard time convincing President Snow of their innocent love, Gale is distant, and Katniss’s mom is busy with all of the hurt villagers. This book is chaos, suspense, and danger all wrapped in one. I highly recommend you read the Hunger Games before you read this second book in the series, for it would be extremely hard to follow. However, I encorage everyone to read this amazing book. Once you start you won’t be able to stop. It’s a perfect combination of romance and gore that is so addicting and interesting. In conclusion, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is an excellent choice of reading which I encourage everyone to enjoy.

GOOSEBUMPS
BY: R.L. STINE
Moving from to a new state and making new friends can be hard. But when a brother and sister move from their hometown to an old, scary town in a different state, weird things start to happen. All of the kids they meet are so pale. And whenever the sun comes out, the kids go inside their houses. And all the kids say that they all lived in the same house when they first moved to the town 20 years ago. But the kids are only 12 years old. Can the brother and sister find out what’s going on in the town? And can they survive through the horror that they are about to overcome. This book will send shivers down your spine. I recommend this book to anyone.
