Description: Catching Fire, written by Suzanne Collins, is the second book in the best-selling young adult The Hunger Games trilogy. This hardcover book has 391 pages and measures 5 3/4 X 8 1/2 inches. The publisher is Scholastic, and the copyright date is 2009. This is a later printing: the number line on the copyright page starts with "23." Synopsis - Heralded by critics as reminiscent of reality television's Survivor, Shirley Jackson's disturbing short story "The Lottery," and other apocalyptic fare--the story takes place in Panem, established in North America after the destruction of the continent's civilization by an unknown apocalyptic event. The nation consists of the wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts united under the Capitol's control. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly known as Appalachia. As punishment for a past rebellion against the Capitol, in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by an annual lottery to participate in the terrifying Hunger Games, an event in which the participants must fight to the death in an outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one individual remains. The story is narrated by 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th annual Hunger Games in place of her younger sister. Katniss must fight not only for her life but for the welfare of everyone in her district, as their future depends on her survival. Condition Details - The book is in very good plus condition; it has a square spine, a very tight binding, and no marks, tears or writing. The textblock edges are clean. The red cover has sharp corners and no edgewear, soil or stains. The dustjacket (in new, protective Brodart) is not price-clipped ($17.99); it has very light edgewear, no soil, chips or tears. No unpleasant odors. I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
