Episode 26 – The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a prequel to the series Hunger Games it adds a wonderful layer to the story. This is also a great stand-alone book. It walks through the story of the tenth hunger games including how various things came to be in the later books.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined — every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute . . . and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.

Bonus Episode 3 – Outsiders Movie Vs Book
In this podcast, we talk about the Outsiders and the differences between it and the book and the movie.
Along with some fun facts and who we think would make a good cast is there was a remake.
You check out the movie on Amazon.
This movie is certainly a product of its time being made in 1983. Although it stars some of Hollywood’s future A-listers, as youth they are just learning their craft. And like many movies based on our favorite books, it loses more than a little in the translation.
The next book is The Asgardian Exchange

Episode 34 – Cadre Kids
The Cadre Kids is an adventure book where homeschooled ghost-hunting teenage twins Jake and Rosa are forced into the daunting world of public school. Where they must face the challenges that come along with it. Join in their adventures as they are thrust into a new world with new challenges.
An ambitious politician with an underlying nefarious agenda pushes for school choice but, it comes at a cost. Their mom instead of embracing the change fights the system thrusting the twin teenagers along with their older brother, Ted, into the public eye and national headlines. The good news is the teenagers test two grades above their age level. The bad news is being smart, they question everything drawing the ire of the Congressman’s Aide.
This is one of the first books where the author reached out to us. If you are an author of a young adult book let us know and if it is something up our alley we’d be glad to review it for Reading Radio.
