Ski Spy School is the 4th inclusion to the Spy School series by Stuart Gibbs. Let me just start off by saying that this book is a story that checks off all the genres: thriller, mystery, romance, action, you name it! The tale also is very unpredictable, and many different things can go haywire in the blink of an eye.

Catching Fire is the second movie in the Hunger Games series, and it is an absolute must-watch. The movie takes us deeper into the world of the Capitol and the life of the people living in the Districts. I enjoyed the exciting experience to watch the story unfold, with original characters and new ones being introduced. The movie is a great portrayal of the tension between the districts and the Capitol, and it does an excellent job of highlighting the 75th Hunger Games.
