    A Selection of Children's and YA Fantasy Books Cashore, Kristin Graceling Fire Bitterblue Cashore's novels are complex. since her protagonists must reconcile themselves their undesired powers and the responsibilities their skills impose. Graceling focuses on a young woman, Katsa, whose special talent, or "grace," makes her almnost undefeatable in combat. All "graced" persons must serve the king, and Katsa, from childhood, has been groomed as her royal uncle's personal assassin. She slowly realizes that she can use her skill to protect Bitterblue, the daughter of a neighboring kingdom's sadistic king, Leck. The second novel--the most intensely- realized of the three--focuses on Fire, a woman of the kingdom where Leck was born, who must come to terms with her inherited power of irresistible attraction and to discern the threat the child Leck presents to her country. Bitterblue continues the story of the rescued princess. Collins, Suzanne The Hunger Games Catching Fire Mockingjay The "Hunger Games" series, for which she is best known, is set in a dystopic North America in which political discipline is maintained the twelve (official) districts by annual gladiatorial competitions to the death among young people chosen by lot. The protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, must use her survival skills and struggle between ruthlessness and her humane instincts to become an active exemplar of a movement for social change.

The real story is, the miller’s daughter with her long golden hair wants to catch a lord, a prince, a rich man’s son, so she goes to the moneylender and borrows for a ring and a necklace and decks herself out for the festival. And she’s beautiful enough, so the lord, the prince, the rich man’s son notices her, and dances with her, and tumbles her in a quiet hayloft when the dancing is over, and afterwards he goes home and marries the rich woman his family has picked out for him. Then the miller’s despoiled daughter tells everyone that the moneylender’s in league with the devil, and the village runs him out or maybe even stones him, so at least she gets to keep the jewels for a dowry, and the blacksmith marries her before that firstborn child comes along a little early. Because that’s what the story’s really about: getting out of paying your debts. That’s not how they tell it, but I knew. My father was a moneylender, you see.
