Catching Fire
Catching Fire is the 2nd book in The Hunger Games trilogy. "Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow district 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the capitol — a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.""Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel victory tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying."
Mockingjay
Mocking jay is the 3rd book in The Hunger Games trilogy. Katniss Everdeen, the 'girl on fire', has
survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped to district 13. Katniss' family is safe. Peeta has been captured and tortured by the capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels and there are leaders. A rebellion is unfolding and war is on the brink.
"It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting quarter quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans — except Katniss."
"The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mocking jay — no matter what the personal
cost."
