*****
Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire is the sequel to the Hunger Games. After the game Katniss and Peeta goes back to district 12. With a surprise visit from president Snow, Katniss got the news that there's going to be a rebellion because of the attempted suicide.

Also since there's a quarter quell every 25 years where there will be a special rule to the hunger game, for example, the 50th hunger game is double the players so instead of 24 there's 48. This year, 24 from the current pool of victors will be forced back into the arena to fight to the death, once again. So since there's only one female winner in district 12, Katniss is going back to the arena.

In the arena, there was 7 people left, Katniss broke the force field that covers the arena and got to a shuttle craft going to district 13 where it got bomb in the rebellion. When she recovered, she found out that Peeta was captured by the Capitol. And the last sentence of the second book is...
