I am recommending the book The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. This is a prequel to The Hunger Games series. It follows Coriolanus Snow as he navigates the Capitol during one of the early Hunger Games competitions. Even though this is a prequel, I would recommend reading it after reading the other three Hunger Games books because it gives you insights into the characters and the world in the series. This prequel is intriguing and has a good story line, while also giving readers background on a world they already love.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games, #0) by Suzanne Collins

Aiden Montgomery | 1 comments "Big Bad Ironclad" is a great book I recommend cause it teaches history in a fun and exciting way and its even a graphic novel, it keeps you interested and makes you want to read more. This book is about true tales from various wars in the past and how they played out, Big Bad Ironclad!Nathan Hale

Derin b | 1 comments Wonder (Wonder, #1) by R.J. Palacio The book I'm recommending is Wonder by R.J Palacio. This book follows August Pullmans first year in a private school. August has a condition called Crouzon Syndrome, this affects how his skull forms, which also causes his facial structure to not develop properly. I love this heart warming book and I know lots of others who read it will too. Not only do you get to read about Augusts first school experience, but also an insight on the lives of others around him.

Elsie | 1 comments This book is so good! It's about a girl who has a very rough life and the way she handles it and moves on and continues. It's about the relationships she builds. A lot happens and it has you hooked right away. I'm not a huge fan of reading and I can't put this book down. Realistic fiction with a bit of murder mystery.

Ava | 1 comments I would recommend reading the book "They Both Die at the End" Its about two characters Mateo and Rufus, they both get a call from an organization called death cast telling them they're going to die within the next 24 hours. Since both of them are not able to be with anyone they end up meeting each other and spending their last day together. I think people who like realistic fiction and books they can relate to would enjoy this.
