I gave this book five stars but this was just an awesome book. The author was incredible with the details and keeping the readers interested. I would require my whole class to read this book at one point. I could even let them participate in literature circles with this book. It is not your typical story or genre. I feel like this would be a good book to use when exposing students to other types of books. This book just captivates you and you can not put it down. You keep reading because you never know what the Capitol or Katniss will do next.

This was a very well written book. The author did a great job of keeping the reader interested and giving good details on how life might be like if you were invisible. This would be a great book to read as a class in a middle school classroom. Everyone has felt like they were invisible at some point, and that usually happens when you are in middle school. That is why this would be good to read as a class so students can discuss. It could also be used in a literature circle for the same reasons. Even though this was a great book, I only gave it four stars. I felt like the author rushed the ending.

I gave this book five stars because this was just an awesome book! I love reading about history and the author gave great details for that time period. This would be a great book to use in a History class when learning about the yellow fever. It would also be good when just learning about that time period. The author gave the reader a good glimpse at what life might have been like then for a teenage girl. It told of how the fever not only affected common people, but also how it affected politicians and wealthier people such as the President.

I really enjoyed reading this book because I love history and this book was set during the Civil War. I gave this book four stars because it was a little hard to get used to reading. The author did not spell the words properly. He spelled the words how the people said them. Once I got used to this, I really enjoyed it and it became an easy read. This would be a great book to use while studying the Civil War. It introduces things from the Civil War someone might not know. For instance, I did not know the armies used hot air balloons to spy on each other until I read this book. This would also be a good book to use in literature circles.
