Just a Taste for Hunger Games Fans

The final chapter in the Hunger Games trilogy won't be out until late August. But Scholastic has released the cover art and title of the new book. The latest installment is entitled Mockingjay and features the infamous bird on a light blue cover. This is quite a difference from the more somber colors and images used for the first two books. Does this mean there is hope for Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch and the rest of Panem?

We will just have to wait until August to see. In the mean time, stop by the library to reread your favorites or ask a librarian about similar books to satisfy your Hunger Games needs.
