This book was amazing because I loved all the detail j.K rowling added, suspense and how the Harry Potter series started. I love harry potter.

Great

it was interesting. I liked the part where people threw plague victims over the wall.

I like this book a lot, especially the secret theme. Throughout the book there are many mysteries to solve. Cass and Max Ernest find a secret note from Pietro the famous magician. Then they go to Pietro's house to investigate. But that is only the start of their wild adventure. At the end they barely escape the Midnight Sun a group of evil alchemists. Read this book it is a lot of fun!

It is very fun. Karen has a big fight with Nancy but then because of her enemy Pamela, she makes up with Nancy.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a science fiction and the first book in The Hunger Games series. Personally, this book is the best out of all the three books in the series. The book is mainly about a society in the future where the government has all power over the citizens and rules over them. Every year, they hold an event where all 12 districts in the country send one boy and girl tribute from the age of 12 to 18 to the hunger games. During the hunger games, the goal is to be the only child left (unfortunately, the others get killed). When the main character, Katniss Everdeen's sister gets called as a tribute, Katniss steps up to volunteer to go instead since she didn't want to put her sister in danger. The story focuses on the journey of Katniss during her time in the games. Near the end of the book, she does something that is considered as an act of rebellion against the government. So, this action leads to the second book. Overall, I think that this book is worth reading because it is action-packed and there is always something new that you learn about on every page. However, some parts of the book are violent so it might not be the best option for kids.

I liked this book because it had humor, suspense and the character made manny mistakes which I feel like everyone can relate to.
