The Hunger Games and Catching Fire

The two books The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are the first two books of a trilogy. I read these books during my trip to Miami to see Grandma Wilbur.

The Hunger Games is a book about a girl named Katniss Everdeen and she lives in a place called Distric 12 or The Seam in part of a country that is where a place called North America was. Every year in each of the districs they have a reaping where kids 12-18 put their names in a bowl, one for girls one for boys. They draw one name from each bowl and the names drawn are the names of the kids who have to enter the annual Hunger Games, where the two children picked from each distric 1-12 must fight every child, including the other person in their distric, to the death. I won't tell you everything that happens, but Katniss gets put into the Hunger Games.

In Catching Fire Katniss finds herself in the Hunger Games yet again, but the plot isn't just about that. There is much, much more going on than anyone can imagine.
