We are beginning an after school book club on Tuesdays, beginning the 21st of September! I hope that you will join me Tuesday at our first meeting so that we can discuss possible book selections for this semester and inventory everyone's interests. I hope to see you here in the library Tuesday right after school!

1st post of the 2010-2011 school year!

Hi everyone, I didn't realize I hadn't posted in so long! Here is my post about the last book in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins.

Mockingjay is Suzanne Collins’ thrilling finale to the Hunger Games trilogy. This book takes you on the final ride of Katniss Everdeen and everyone who has been associated with her throughout the story.
Katniss is at home after her second Hunger Games trying to heal and get over everything that has taken place so far when the revolution the rebels have been organizing gets fully underway. Of course, Katniss is recruited to be the Mockingjay, the symbol of the rebellion and the catalyst for the change that is needed for Panem to have a chance at not being pawns in President Snow's games anymore.

The action is intense and expected in this book, Gale is still trying to protect Katniss while Peeta is being held captive by the Capitol. Surprising twists of events unfold as the rebels get closer to gaining independence for the people of Panem. The climax will shock and horrify you but I think you will enjoy the end to this great series!

Check them all out!
