The main setting in this book takes place in Cinque Terre, Italy. The place that Calla is living for now in the book is called a Academy. The Academy is surrounded by a large expanse of ocean water. There is also a little beach that encircles the whole Academy. Somewhere on the beach is a little garden that Calla likes to go to clear her head. There is also a greenhouse to grow herbs and other healthy garden foods.

What is the book about? It seems like a action and gore kind of book because the war part gave it away. I`m not really that interested in war books, but I want to learn about it and see how it is.

This book is definitely filled with action but not a gore. It's good.

This book sounds good. Is Calla a werewolf? I am asking this because of the name of the book. Is this book one that girls would be more interested in? The beginning sounds like both but your ending sounds like its more for girls.

The main setting of this book is the Hunger Games arena. The arena changes every year but in the current year in the book, it is mostly forest with little water and mediam sized rocks and anmals, but many are not dangerous. There are also poisinous berries, hidden traps and little supplis. "We're on a flat, open strech of ground. A plain of hard-packed dirt. Behind the tributs across from me, I can see nothing indicating either a steep downward slope or even a cliff. to my right lies a lake. to my left and back, sparse piney woods."

The main setting in the book is in the arena. The cornucopia is surrounded by water. There are strips of land jutting out from the island that the cornucopia is on. There is also a beach and a very big jungle. "At first,it appears to be sitting on a circular island. But on closer examination, I see the thin strips of land radiating from the circle like the spokes on a wheel."(Collins 268)

Paulsen, Gary. Hatchet. New York. Children's Publishing Division. 1987. Print.
The main setting in this book is in the wilderness of Canada. For the very beginning Brian was in a plane, however the plane crashed and that's how he ended up in the middle of the woods. This setting is very important to the book because this is what makes the story interesting. Here, thirteen year old Brian is all alone since the pilot died, so he has to take all of his knowledge and apply it to his situation. To him, this is a matter of life and death. The forest is full of deadly animals, plants and unsafe weather unless he makes shelter for himself. Brian may have his hatchet, but that does not guarantee his life. Luckily he landed in a pond and survived, supplying him with water. " He pulled his legs out of the lake and crawled on his hands and knees until he was away from the wet-soft shore and near a small stand of brush of some kind"(Paulsen 34).

The main setting of this book is at a spy school also known as Gallagher Academy. At this academy the characters in this book are taught spy skills. The main character Cammie was once protecting her friend from kidnappers and went though steps in her head and the friends made it out safely. It is a very large building, which has plenty of hidden passage ways and doors. The school is mainly for girls, however boys are taught in one specific wing at the academy. The students are taught many spy skills such as self defense and mind control techniques. The teachers at this school are very strict. Cammie says " After all I haven't broken any rules". This story takes place in modern day times. I know this because of the technology they are using.

Korman, Gordon. Zoo Break. New York: Scholastic Press, 2009.Print.
The setting that is important in my book is when the kids go to the Floating Zoo, to steal a monkey. They are trying to figure out a way to bust the monkey out, without the mean Zookeeper noticing. The monkey (Cleopatra) was stolen from there friend’s (Savannah) backyard. The time would be around the 1900’s and 2007, the story talks about computers and wireless cameras. In the olden days there wasn’t computers invented. Also the wireless cameras are new because you don’t have to plug them in anywhere. “And suddenly, as it was all truly great plans, Operation Zoo Break appeared, fully formed, in Griffin’s imagination” (Korman37).

I think that is a cool book, I think that Cammie will end up breaking rules. Because at the end of you're sentence it said she didnt brake any rules. You should read Zoo Break it is similar because the kids are almost like spies. Because they have to break in to the Floating Zoo without the Zookeeper noticing.

The cornucopia is the horn that you usually see at Thanks Giving. You know, the one with all the food coming out of it. I guess its to represent the prize that the district gets if they win the hunger games. If you've read it , which you have, you know that in the beginning they get the air drop of food I think every month. That's what I think it's there anyway.
