Katniss survived the Hunger Games. Now the Capitol wants revenge. It's payback time, and her chance of survival is even slimmer than ever... After winning the brutal Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta have returned to District 12, 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 other 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... "_Catching Fire_ not only lived up to my high expectations, it surpassed them. It's just as exciting as _The Hunger Games_, but even more gut wrenching, because you already know these characters, you've already suffered with them." _Stephenie Meyer_ "Brimming with potent themes of morality, obedience, sacrifice, redemption, love, law, and, above all, survival." _Booklist_
