Catching Fire Synopsis
The second book in the ground-breaking HUNGER GAMES trilogy. After
winning the brutal Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta return to their
district, hoping for a peaceful future. But their victory has
caused rebellion to break out ... and the Capitol has decided that
someone must pay. As Katniss and Peeta are forced to visit the
districts on the Capitol's Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than
ever. Unless they can convince the world that they are still
lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.
Then comes the cruellest twist: the contestants for the next
Hunger Games are announced, and Katniss and Peeta are forced into
the arena once more.
