The new 'Twilight'?

'The Hunger Games' from Suzanne Collins has had an amazing impact in the USA and its popularity is spreading here in the UK. The second book in the trilogy, 'Catching Fire', has been snapped up by readers desperate for more since its publication this September. The trilogy is set in the future with the United States divided into 12 districts ruled by an oppressive government which keeps them short of food. Each year, teenagers are selected by lottery to compete in a huge reality show/game to win food for their district. Suddenly it's kill or be killed, whilst the citizens of the district watch and hope for their competitor to survive and win them food...

Leigh, a librarian visiting Kimbolton with students from the Bridgewater-Raritan High School, has kindly donated the first two copies of this trilogy. Reserve your copy today!
