The highly anticipated final book in the successful "Hunger Games" series now has a title and a release date.
Scholastic publishing announced today that the book will be titled "Mockingjay" and that it will be available on August 24, 2010.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, I have read both "The Hunger Games" and its sequel "Catching Fire" and I highly recommend this series.
Orginially marketed as young adult novels, the series has caught on with the grown-up crowd as well. Both "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" were on several 'best of' year-end editor lists.
The story takes place in a dictator led society where teens are forced to fight to the death on TV. Yes, it has some violence in it, but it's certainly not over the top by any means. And, the teens plight to lead a resistance movement against the oppressive government is very engaging.
