Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy transports readers to a dystopian future world where teenagers are forced to take part in a deadly game to win favour for themselves and their village. When Katniss Everdeen becomes a contestant, she is convinced she won't return, but as she enters the life-or-death world of the televised game, she finds that she's stronger than she thought. Can she triumph against the odds and find a future for herself? Totally unputdownable, this series is a must for any young adult's bookshelf. Since the release of the first feature film starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson, the trilogy has gained a whole new legion of fans and as we excitedly await the release of its sequel, Catching Fire, in November this year, now is the perfect time to immerse yourself in these action-packed adventures!

BELLETOONA, PENNSYLVANIA? Are Kate Sommer's parents joking? Who in their right mind would move from sunny, happening Isla Nada, California to dreary Belletoona? Kate thinks her parents have flipped. No way is she leaving her friends, her way-cool surfer boyfriend, and early morning shell collecting on the beach. Belletoona is just as bad as Kate expects. Not only does it snow all the time, but the principal and half her class already hate her. Plus her goody-two-shoes younger sister makes it all worse by acting perfect all the time. For Kate it's sunny California or bust-and it will take more than a blizzard to stop her. Martha Freeman has written a humorous and touching novel about adjusting to a new town, sibling rivalry, and the qualities that make a house a real home.
