Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

 

New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

Best book ever created. When Katniss volunteers to take her sisters place her life is turned around in unexpected ways.

This book is amazing! It has some violence, but not enough to make it too much for kids around and/or over nine or ten to read. The book, at least in this case, is much better then the movie. Enjoy as Hunger Games heroine Katniss Everdeen as she plays in the games for district 12 with her to-be boyfriend, Peeta Mellark. Awesome book!!!!!!

BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

It really is. It's amazing!

This book told a story of survival skills, love, humanity, and it was all through the eyes of Katniss, the protagonist. She is determined, clever, and good with a bow. Read this book!
