"Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place." -Barnes and Noble

"The year is 1901--it's been twenty-three years since Peter and the Lost Boys returned from Rundoon. Since then, nobody on the island has grown a day older, and the Lost Boys continue their friendship with the Mollusk tribe, and their rivalry with Captain Hook. Meanwhile in London, Molly has married George Darling and is raising three children: Wendy, Michael, and John. One night a visitor appears at her door..." -Barnes and Noble

"Rin is sure that something is wrong with her…something really bad. Something that is keeping her from feeling at home in the Forest homestead where she’s lived all her life. Something that is keeping her from trusting herself with anyone at all. When her brother Razo returns from the city for a visit, she accompanies him to the palace, hoping that she can find peace away from home. But war has come to Bayern again, and Rin is compelled to join the queen and her closest allies—magical girls Rin thinks of as the Fire Sisters—as they venture into the Forest toward Kel, the land where someone seems to want them all dead.” -Children's Literature

"Companion to The Outsiders, That Was Then, This is Now is S. E. Hinton's moving portrait of the bond between best friends Bryon and Mark and the tensions that develop between them as they begin to grow up and grow apart." -Barnes and Noble

"This first book in the classic best-selling Mark of the Lion series brings readers back to the first century and introduces them to a character they will never forget--Hadassah. Torn by her love for a handsome aristocrat, a young slave girl clings to her faith in the living God for deliverance from the forces of decadent Rome." -Barnes and Noble

Upcoming Reviews

New BookChirp Reviews are on the way! Currently, I am typing reviews for Peter and The Sword of Mercy and Forest Born. Both novels are individuals in a series, which I have been following for some time, so I will definitely be commenting on those aspects. The two reviews should be up on the site early tomorrow, so feel free to check them out and give your comments. We are always interested in what you have to say about the reviews. Also, we will be setting up a new portion of the site where you, the viewers, can recommend books for us to read and rate. I hope everyone will be able to enjoy that upcoming segment of the site. For anyone who is interested in reviewing books for the site, BookChirp Staff positions are still open. Feel free to contact us today! Keep chirping.
