Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (2010, Hardcover)

Synopsis
In the thrilling conclusion to Suzanne Collins's sensational Hunger Games trilogy, Kathniss Everdeen must pay the price for having outwitted the ruthless Capitol to win the Hunger Games not once, but twice. President Snow has never faced a threat like this, so he decides to suppress the swelling defiance against him by attacking Kathniss's biggest weakness--her family and her district. It seems that Kathniss and company may have to test their survival skills outside the Arena if they want to triumph yet again. But which of Kathniss's fellow rebels will be able to conquer her wild heart--her childhood companion, Gale or her fellow champion and fictitious lover, Peeta? Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a 2010 Notable Children's Book.

Industry Reviews
"While the books have been marketed to young adults, the depth of the dark plot, the pace of the action and the depiction of goodness continually struggling to triumph over human nature have captured the adult audience as well."
(09/05/2010)

"[A]dmirers of the first two books, THE HUNGER GAMES and CATCHING FIRE, are likely to find MOCKINGJAY everything they'd hoped for."
(08/30/2010)

"[A] wrenching conclusion to the tale of a country in chaos and the 17-year-old protagonist who caused it. Fans aren't likely to be disappointed."
(08/23/2010)

"[This] trilogy balances seriousness with special effects, a fundamental furious darkness with fast-paced storytelling, so that the books manage to be simultaneously disturbing and fun. They contain a sharp satire of celebrity culture, mindless tabloidism and decadence...."
