7th and 8th Graders Vote for Their Favorite Books
The 7th and 8th graders submitted their ballots, and we tallied the votes.  This year’s winner is Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy. This acclaimed and best-selling trilogy begins in a future North America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the twelve districts against one another. Sixteen-year-old Katniss’s skills are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister’s place. As she navigates this violent, dark world, Katniss learns to face the repercussions of her actions, as well as her feelings for her friends Peeta and Gale. Other works topping the list include: Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians series; J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series; Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle series; Libba Bray’s Gemma Doyle trilogy; and several works by Mike Lupica.
