Dear Ms.Vallejo (book project 3)

 Dear Ms.Vallejo

If you like suspense, romance and a action/adventure you should read Catching Fire. Catching Fire is a great book for teenagers but i think you would like it too. This book is written by Suzzane Collins. This is an author that has written the Hunger Games trilogy. Catching Fire is the second book of this trilogy and  The Hunger games is the first, last but not least Mockingjay is the last book of the trilogy. In my opinion this is one of my favorite books and the trilogy is my favorite. If your going to read this book I recommend reading The Hunger Games first and after Mockingjay. This book is really good and well written. It is about a girl named Katniss who lives in the future ruins of North America she lives in a country called Panem. Panem is divided in to 12 districts (not including district 13 which was "destroyed" by the capitol for trying to do an uprising) apart from the 12 districts is a capitol where the wealthy people live and so does the president. The president is President Snow he is an unjust ruler he gives alot to the wealthy and a little to the poor. Every year he recruits 1boy and 1girl from each district to fight to the death in the annual hunger games only 1/24 tributes can survive the brutal battle. Fortunately, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark both survived that by pretending they loved each other and by saying and holding out poisouness berries to defy the capitol. Now the 2 star crossed lovers have a different problem and that is the Quarter Quell. The Quarter Quell is  the hunger games but with some special rules. Peeta's and Katniss's tutor, Haymitch won the quarter quell before this one where there was 2 times as more tributes than regular. A quarter quell only happens every 25th anniversary of Panem and this time is the 75th anniversary. This book is very suspenseful because you never know what's going to happen next. During The Hunger Games and Catching Fire the auyhor makes you believe that district 13 doesnt exist anymore and that it got destroyed by the capitol, but at the end of Catching Fire you realize that district 13 is still existant and that they are planning a big uprising.
