I loved all of the ways that Suzanne Collin’s connected this story to all the others and there plenty of moments of realisation about how different characters were connected. You knew that Haymitch would survive the Games (even though they would be forever changed) but there is plenty to keep you invested in his story....more

My daughter and I loved the characters (she laughed every time I said ‘Sir Loin of Beef�) and the language is wonderful. There are some many brilliant similes that are really creative (‘rolling down the slope like a rancid rugby ball�). This would be a fantastic read aloud for Years 4-6 as it’s just so much fun to read aloud!...more

Sure, it’s about baking, with the magic of adding positive feelings like joy and confidence into what they bake, but it’s also a very emotional tale about grief. I was enjoying the warm fuzzies that I was getting from the story and then the creators punched me in the guts part way through, and the story went in a different direction. The writing and the illustrations are both wonderful and work so well together....more
