       98/100
The Hunger Games is a great book, but the writing is a bit small and hard to read .The detail in the book is great .I would not recommend this book if you have not seen the movie. It is also very violent so young readers may want to check with their parents first.

Summary of the Book
 Mahtab and her family are forced to leave their home in Herat and journey secretly through the rocky mountains to Pakistan and from there to faraway Australia. Months go by, months of waiting, months of dread, with only memories and hopes to sustain them. Will they ever be reunited with their father, will they ever find a home? The plight of refugees from and what it really means to leave everything behind and to start a new life are vividly explored in this beautiful story. 
Rating
My Opinion

85/100
 Mahtab's Story is an eye opening and thought provoking journey through the eyes of a young and innocent girl. It is not a fast paced action novel or roller coaster ride, it is a story that makes you think deeply about the opinions you have on such a deep and controversial topic (illegal refugees). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the story again with the class.
