12. I ran an after school book club

for advanced middle-school students a few years back. We read a lot of different things that year, and got to The Hunger Games late in spring. They devoured it, chewed it up, digested it, and insisted on reading Catching Fire next, so we did. The final book was not yet out, though, so they had to wait for summer. When it came out in late August, most of the group were preparing to start High School, but my inbox was smoking, as they all had to check in and chat as soon as they got the book. Most read it in a couple of days.

If they haven't already read it, they'll probably be interested. Since the movie has been advertised, I've got even 6th graders reading through it at this point. I think that's a little young, but they are avid about it anyway.
