Synopsis:

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts.  The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.  Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games.  But Katniss has been close to dead before – and survival, for her, is second nature.  Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender.  But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Synopsis:

Lindy names the ventriloquist’s dummy she finds Slappy.  Slappy is kind of ugly, but he’s a lot of fun.  Lindy’s having a great time learning to make Slappy move and talk.  But Kris is jealous of all the attention her sister is getting.   It’s no fair.  Why does Lindy always have all the luck?  Kris decides to get a dummy of her own.  She’ll show Lindy.  The weird things begin to happen.  Nasty things.   Evil things.  No way a dummy can be causing all the trouble.  Or is there?
