Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.
Liz says:
“I can’t wait to see what happens to Kat and Peeta as they face their next challenge together. If this is half as good as the first it will be worth reading.”

Moose and the cons are about to get a lot closer in this much-anticipated sequel.
It’s 1935. Moose Flanagan lives on Alcatraz with his family, the other families of the guards, and a few hundred no-name hit men, con men, mad dog murderers and a handful of bank robbers too. And one of those cons has just done him a big favor.
You see, Moose has never met Al Capone, but a few weeks ago Moose wrote a letter to him asking him to use his influence to get his sister, Natalie, into a school she desperately needs in San Francisco. After Natalie got accepted, a note appeared in Moose’s freshly laundered shirt that said: Done.
As this book begins, Moose discovers a new note. This one says: Your turn. Is it really from Capone? What does it mean? Moose can’t risk anything that might get his dad fired. But how can he ignore Al Capone?
Liz says:
“I had the honor of having Gennifer visit Scarsdale Middle School last May. Not only was she an awesome presenter and an amazing person to hang out with, she also gave me an unedited proof (galley copy) of this book. I devoured it immediately. Lots of great fun, tough moments and interesting history about life on Alcatraz make this a winner. Don’t be disappointed when you finish this one, there’s a third one coming in this planned trilogy.”
