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.

Do you like action and drama? Then The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the book for you. This book tells about a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen and her life living in the corrupt country of Panem in the distant corrupt future. There are 12 districts total in Panem, in which Katniss lives in the 12th and poorest. People in district 12 struggle don't live a very happy life, as buying food increases the odds of being entered in the Hunger Games. Every year, a cruel sport is held called the Hunger Games is held by the dictator government of the Capitol, in which 24 kids, or tributes, age 12-18 are picked from every district (1 male, 1 female per district) to be put in a large arena to fight to the death. The last man standing is then declared the winner and retires to a life of leisure. This is the basis of the entire book, as Katniss is one of those tributes that was chosen from her district. Katniss then has to fight for her life in a bloodbath of teenagers that are trained killers. Katniss hadn't had a great life before either, because she was largely responsible for feeding her family at all costs. This was often through hunting illegally and selling game on the black market. The Hunger Games is a great book because it has an even distribution of action, edge-of-your seat plot lines, and drama.
