The Hunger Games: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Description:
“The third book in Suzanne Collins's
phenomenal and worldwide bestselling Hunger Games trilogy is now available in
paperback. "My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be
dead." Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home
has been destroyed. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is
unfolding. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow
the Capitol. Though she's long been a part of the revolution, Katniss hasn't
known it. Now it seems that everyone has had a hand in the carefully laid plans
but her. The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a
pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of
the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and
distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay - no matter what the cost.”

AND THE CAPITOL WANTS REVENGE.
FLAMES ARE SPREADING.
AND THE CAPITOL WANTS REVENGE.
Katniss is threatened to make a show for
the President that she did not make fun of the capitol.
Against all odds, Katniss has won the
Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously
still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has
returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way
Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned
his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the
Capitol -- a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an
unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that
she’s not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and
Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol’s cruel Victory Tour, the stakes
are higher than ever. If they can’t prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that
they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be
horrifying.Thoughts of escaping District 12, the Capital, and the pressure are
constantly in Katniss's mind. But she knows it isn't possible. Katniss is about
to be tested as never before.
In Catching Fire, the second novel of the
Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen,
testing her more than ever before…and surprising readers at every turn.
Tick, Tock. This is a clock.”

The 5th Wave by Rich Yancey
The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

SYLO by D. J. MacHale (Author Explains)
Description:
“THEY CAME FROM THE SKY
parachuting out of military helicopters to invade Tucker Pierce’s idyllic
hometown on Pemberwick Island, Maine. They call themselves SYLO and they
are a secret branch of the U.S. Navy. SYLO’s commander, Captain Granger,
informs Pemberwick residents that the island has been hit by a lethal virus and
must be quarantined. Now Pemberwick is cut off from the outside world.
Tucker believes there’s more to SYLO’s story. He was on the sidelines when the
high school running back dropped dead with no warning. He saw the bizarre
midnight explosion over the ocean, and the mysterious singing aircraft that
travel like shadows through the night sky. He tasted the Ruby— and experienced
the powers it gave him —for himself. What all this means, SYLO isn’t
saying. Only Tucker holds the clues that can solve this deadly mystery.
LOOK TO THE SKY because Pemberwick is only the first stop. “SYLO will
have your pulse racing and your head spinning. Make plans to stay up all night
finishing it." Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of the
Gone series.”
