Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins, is the second book after the Hunger Games. It starts out with Katniss in district twelve after she Peeta won the Hunger Games in the first book. Then the president of Panem (Katniss' Country) comes and tells Katniss not to start any uprisings on the district tour. She fails and starts and uprising in District 11. Then she comes home to find that she has to go to the Hunger Games again, but with all the past living victors They go, and then at the soon end of the games, Katniss breaks the force field banner around the arena. Then all of a sudden a UFO from district 13 picks her up and some of the other tributes. They fail to get Peeta which makes Katniss very angry. Then Katniss finds out at the very end that they were going to district 13 and that her home district had been distorted.
I think the theme of this book is survival. I think this because Katniss is trying to get Peeta to survive throughout the whole book. At the beginning of the book Katniss and Haymich decide to get Peeta out of the games alive. IN the middle, Katniss is very concerned about Peeta's survival, especially when he almost dies from the force field. At the end, Katniss is worried about Peeta's survival when he didn't make it onto the UFO. That's why I think the theme of this book is survival.
I would recommend this book to any person who liked the first book, The Hunger Games. It is very exciting just like The Hunger Games. I enjoyed Catching Fire just as much as I did the first one. I hope you read this book and like it a lot.
