    ivy_h's book review was featured in The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, Book 1).
    This book is about the nation of Panem, which is in North America. It is a country that have a wealthy Capitol region that is surrounded by 12 poor districts. Their ruler is President Snow, but even though he is a "president", Panem isn't a democratic country. Earlier in Panem's history, the 13 districts led rebellion to turn on the Capitol. The 13 districts lost and district 13 was destroyed. In punishment for rebelling, the Capitol forced each district to provide a boy and a girl between the ages 12-18 as tributes, and only one person could win, the districts were also forced to celebrate it as a holiday. The main character, Katniss's sister was chosen during the reaping as a tribute, and Katniss volunteered to take her place. The male tribute, was a boy named Peeta. Katniss and Peeta faced many challenges in the arena, they have to fight tributes that were bigger and stronger than them and have been trained for their whole entire lives. I really liked this book because it's an adventure book but it's not too violent. It had many emotions to explain the character's life because the author was writing from a 1st person point of view, so it was almost like we entered the world of Panem. And I don't get bored throughout the book because every chapter was thrilling and exciting, even though I already watched the movie, I am still excited when I read the book because there is so much more description in the story

    Stargirl is a very inspiring book. It’s not very long but there is a very important theme in the book: Be yourself. In the book, Stargirl was bullied by students in her school because she’s unique and different than all the other kids from her school. She didn’t care about what other people think of her. Leo became her love interest in the story. They affected each other. Leo is a boy who wants to fit in and be ordinary; While Stargirl is very different from the others. Stargirl was willing to change for Leo, I think that Leo is very selfish because he made Stargirl change for him, but he didn’t change for Stargirl.
