Starved for the Sequel?????

Good news for those who are ready for another serving of "The Hunger Games" series by Suzanne Collins. Scholastic publishing company has announced that "Mockingjay," the third and final installment in this series, will be released August 24, 2010. Sort of unfortunate timing if you ask me, but this series is so engrossing that it just may have teens wishing away their summer so that they can hurry up and get this book.

I'm know I'm one of those who can't wait to once again "fear the reaper!" Although Collins isn't dishing anything about the plot of this book, we can be sure that there will be plenty of adventure, treachery and love triangle action. Let the games begin!

If you haven't already become hooked on "The Hunger Games" maybe this booktrailer by Justin Breaux of Saint Amant High School will help whet your appetite.
