Hunger Games is the first book in the popular trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Panem is a country divided into 12 districts. Located in what was once the United States, the people of Panem must fight to survive—in more ways than one. Each year, two teen representatives are picked from each district to compete in a grueling survival game for the Capitol’s (the government’s) entertainment. When Katniss’ 12-year-old sister is chosen to represent District 12, Katniss, without a second thought, volunteers to take her place. For some, being chosen is an honor, while others see it as a miserable end. In the dangerous arena, Katniss’ peers and the Capitol’s watchful eyes, await her. Can she make it out alive? Can she bring glory to her district, which they gravely need?
Collins writes a gripping, intense and dramatic trilogy full of uncertainty, trust, and yet, a believable future.
