The Hunger Games is a fictional book written by: Suzanne Collins. The story takes place in what used to be called the United States, but is now a country made up of thirteen districts and a capital. The main character is Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen year old girl who lives with her mother and sister. They live in district twelve, which is a poor coal mining district. Their district’s main job is to send all of their coal to the ultra rich capitol, called Panem.
Each year, the capitol forces one boy and one girl from each district to play in the Hunger Games. This is the way the capitol has keeps control over all of the districts. The games are a battle in which the kids fight to the death in an arena that the capitol designs. Katniss and a boy named Peeta are chosen from district twelve. They must fly to the capitol with their mentor and face the other challengers in the secret arena. The entire country is forced to watch the games on television that is broadcast every day, until there is only one survivor.
This is a book about friendship, survival and loyalty. The book also is about making choices, both good and bad. I thought this was one of the best books I have read. It keeps you on the edge of your seat!
