In English for Novel Study we have the choice of reading Unwind or Tomorrow, When The War Began. I have chosen Unwind since it seems very interesting, though it is more difficult from the other novel.

EXAMINING THE COVER

Considering that "Before the Hunger Games, there was:" is on the cover, I believe that it will be written similarly to the Hunger Games.
