"Catching Fire," Suzanne Collins’s second book in the “The Hunger Games” series takes the No. 1 spot on the teen list. Though John Green’s “Paper Towns” came out on top last year, the honor typically goes to a book that is part of a series. Stephanie Meyer’s “Eclipse” won in 2008, as did “New Moon” in 2007. In 2006, it was J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” and in 2005, Ann Brashares’s “Girls In Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood.” Will “Mockingjay,” Collins’s third book in the "Hunger Games" series, top the list next year? Though we’ll have to wait to find out, history shows that teens are loyal to their favorite series, and they particularly love this postapocalyptic adventure story.
