The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

Would you risk your life for your siblings? Well, Katnis Everdeen certainly did by volunteering to take her sister, Primrose Everdeen’s place when she was drawn to be District 12’s female tribute in the Seventy-Fourth Annual Hunger Games.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America, lies the country of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Once a year two tributes, one male and one female, between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are to be chosen to participate in The Hunger Games. A fight to the death on Live TV.

If you are looking for a gripping, exciting, speed-rap of a novel that creates almost constant suspense, then The Hunger Games is certainly for you.

As the plot thickens, find out how Katnis handles the Capitol, what goes on in the arena, the choices she will have to make to stay alive and the conflict of a new love appearing in her life.

Beast Quest 
There is a series of books that I really like called Beast Quest. The books are about a boy named Tom that saves different cities from beasts that are from out of this world. Tom goes and defeats the beasts with his companions, his friend Ellena and his stallion Storm and Ellena has a wolf named Silver. 
The beasts are super super cool.
I really think people should start reading this series too.
