Plot Summary: After Peeta and Katniss win the Hunger Games by outsmarting the Capitol, the Capitol is angry and watching her very closely. She and Peeta are forced back into the Hunger Games the following year for the Quarter Quell - the seventy fifth anniversary.
Critical Evaluation: This follow up book is just as riveting as the first. Collins nails another fast paced, suspenseful journey of redemption, survival and love. This book ends with even more of a cliff hanger than the first one, leaving readers pining for the third and final book. Reader's Annotation: Catniss and Peeta are being watched closely by the capital and are made to participate in the Quarter Quell, another Hunger Games arena.
Booktalking Ideas: power, rebellion, free will
