Book Bunch - Book Change

(Click image to go to amazon.com website)

We have decided to change the book for our Book Bunch to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It is really easy and fun read. This book comes recommended by Stephenie Meyer (of the Twilight series). Here is a summary of the book:

Could YOU survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone fighting against you?

Twenty- four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.

Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Our first Book Bunch will still meet on Thursday, January 22nd at 7 pm. Location will be announced. Let us know if you have any questions. Hope to see you there.
