Review: It includes discussion guides for all 3 novels
Rating: 4 out of 5

The title here is misleading: the Kindle eBook actually includes short synopses and discussion questions for each of the three novels (Hunger Games [14], Catching Fire [18], and Mockingjay [23]), plus additional sections on "Comparing the Books" [8 questions], "Historical and Literary Connections" and "Suggestions for Future Reading."If you're familiar with Scholastic's book guides, you won't be surprised by the superficial nature of most questions, nor the awkward wording of some questions. I definitely think that most middle-school students would have trouble with the wording of some of the questions.Teachers: Remember that the Kindle prevents you from printing or even "cutting and pasting" discussion questions for use in a classroom handout. It doesn't matter if you use one of Amazon's Kindle devices, the iPhone/iPad or Android apps, or Cloud Reader; none allow printing or cut-and-paste of text (I was able to use the "screen capture" function to create an image file, on my PC).I've given this eBook a rating of 4 stars (out of 5), based on the fact that this title is currently offered for FREE for the Kindle; otherwise I'd give it 3 stars.
