| A young girl is facing the biggest adventure of her life by facing The Hunger Games for the second time in only one short year. Katniss Everdeen is a typical teenage girl in a post-appocolyptic world, at least she was before the reaping that almost drew her sister into the hunger games. Now Katniss is 'the girl on fire,' a hero to the rebellion though she doesn't even know it yet. What she does know is that she's going to be sent back into the worst period of her life, back into the games that nearly destroyed her, only this time she's going to be facing hardened killers who have already won the games once, and she'll have to kill the boy she's not quite sure she loves, but not quite sure she doesn't either. After all there's no way The Capital is going to let both her and Peeta live again. What she doesn't know is that she has more than just Peeta on her side in the arena. In fact, Katniss has very few enemies in the arena and possibly even fewer on the outside. When it comes down to saving the world, it just might be Katniss that is chosen to lead the fight. | ||
