Teen Board member Brynn S. got one of the best phone calls of her life, recently --- her friend Danielle invited her to join her at the L.A. premiere and afterparty for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2. On Friday, we posted her blog about the entire experience of the premiere, and today, we're posting Part 2 (see the parallels with the movie, here?), which is a review of the film itself. Read below, and see whether or not they reflect your own thoughts on the movie!

The stories of past courage can define that ingredient --- they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.

There are young people having babies every day that cannot possibly take care of them, and, as people who believe that every life is beautiful, we need to make them aware of another choice --- to give that beautiful life up for adoption.

When Brynn S.'s good friend called her up, she was expecting to talk about school, mutual friends -- all of the usual stuff. She was NOT expecting to be invited to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2...at the L.A. premiere. And go to the after-party. What?! Below, she outlines her amazing experience celebrating the end of one of the best YA franchises ever written (and filmed). Go ahead...live vicariously through her.

This week moved at warp speed with very special moments that all super-charged me.
On Wednesday night, Shara Zaval, our Teenreads and Kidsreads Editorial Manager, and I attended the National Book Awards, which is the book industry’s version of the Oscars. It was a brilliant evening where one acceptance speech was more poignant than the next. Andy Borowitz was the perfect humorous and irreverent host. James Patterson was awarded the Literarian Award by Carmen Farina, the Chancellor of NYC Department of Education, for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community for his work with reaching young people and his contributions to increase literacy and support of books and reading. Don DeLillo was presented with the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters by Jennifer Egan.
