Book review by Ms. Palatucci:
Battle Royal by Koushun
Takami gets 4.5 of 5 tars…This
is the original Hunger Games
but much darker. In a
futuristic society, high school
students marooned on a booby
trapped island…
…& forced to fight to the
death. This is intense &
keeps the reader engaged
'til the end. It reads much
like a horror novel, so if
you're easily scared, this
book is not for you!
Actions equal
consequences.
MAKE GOOD
CHOICES!
