The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

by Suzanne Collins

Synopsis:

Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used to be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.

Katniss is smart, athletic, and fast. She can take down a rabbit with a bow and arrow, hitting it straight thought the eye. Will these skills be enough to survive the Hunger Games?
