The Hunger Games

I don't know if I've written about these books, but now I will. This is a trilogy of books about Katniss Everdeen, a girl who lives in the future. In the future there are 12 districts and a capitol. These are all like very big cities. Once they tried to rebel, but the Government, or Capitol, won. Since then the people have been practically tortured by the CApitol. They work like slaves, and there is barely enough food to go around. At the Capitol, however, everyone lives like kings.

The Capitol shows their power and superiority by having what is called the Hunger Games, which is an event where two people ( a boy and a girl ages 11-18) are chosen from each district to battle to the death in a complicated arena. The arena is huge and tricky, usually a new habitat every year.

When Katniss' little sister is chosen to battle and most probably die, Katniss steps up to take her place. She and the boy (called Peeta Mellark) then go through the complicated first steps of being in the Hunger Games. They are dressed up and put on TV, and everyone in the districts are forced to watch. Then they train to an inch of their lives. Finally, they are put in the arena.

This story has twists and turns you would never expect. I liked it very much. If you want to find out what happens in the arena, or just love to read exciting thrillers, read The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins.

Manga

I am obsessed with manga drawing. I cant stop! A good manga book is Manga Mania by Christopher Hart. There are a lot of drawings and it explains manga, too. I really recommend it.
