Catching Fire

Katniss and Peeta have survived the Hunger Games and come home. They hope for peace, but their win has sparked a revolt. The Capitol seeks to punish those it holds to blame.

Forced to tour the districts, they must keep up their romance. They need the public to believe their love is real. Failure could bring dire harm. Then the next Games bring a new threat: both must enter the arena again.

Catching Fire is Suzanne Collins's second novel in the Hunger Games trilogy. This fantasy story for young adults follows their struggle under the Capitol's rule. Time named it among its ten best fiction books of 2009. The novel also became a film, as did the trilogy's other two books.
