P.C. Cast’s newest epic fantasy novel is Moon Chosen. One of her ten all-time favorite reads for fantasy fans, as shared at the BN Teen blog:The Hunger Games, by Suzanne CollinsRead about the other entries on the list.
These books hooked me immediately because of how much I appreciate their 16-year-old heroine, Katniss Everdeen. Katniss is my favorite type of hero—a reluctant one. She does what she believes is right, first for her family, and then for her world. And in the end, I was pleased to see that she also grew and matured and did what was right for herself, too. And I do love me some Peeta!
