In the middle of the book Mockingjay, Katniss is still in District 13 with the Rebels. The Capital has just tried to bomb the Rebels, but the bombs did not do much damage and no one was hurt. Right after the bombing, the Rebels plan to rescue Peeta from the Capital. But Peeta doesn't recognize Katniss and turns on the rescue team. Back in District 13, the Rebels need to find a strong emotional trigger to bring the old Peeta back.
The Rebels also continue to make videos to recruit members in other districts to fight against the Capital. The videos work well, but the Capital is countering with their own videos that make it look like Katniss is bad.
Meanwhile, the "Brains" (a group of rebels whose job is to plan attacks), are figuring out how to break into District 2's "Nut". The Nut is a big base for the Peacekeepers, so the Rebels want to destroy it and rescue captive Rebels. The plan is very dangerous and puts a lot of people's lives at risk, including Katniss and Gale's.
I think the action is picking up in the middle of the book and I liked that because the previous book, Catching Fire, was not exciting till the last part. This book is making me want to read more. I still recommend this book for people in grades 4th and up.
