The third book of the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins will be out August 24. If you haven't read The Hunger Games or Catching Fire, start now in time for the third one. If you're anxiously awaiting the publication of Mockingjay, you can request it online or by calling the library reference desk at 385-3645.

What horrible games or tricks will the Capitol come up with to destroy Katniss? Or will Katniss and other allies be able to defeat President Snow? Will Katniss choose to be with her teammate Peeta or longtime friend Gale? This third book of a postapocalyptic world has many loose ends to tie up.

This is a "young adult" series, but middle school age and older (adults included) will find these page-turners difficult to put down.
