The Hunger Games

Panem is a nation that arose from the ruins of what was once called North America. Its shining capital, the Capitol, is surrounded by twelve remote districts. Its government is cruel and ruthless, keeping the districts in fear by forcing them to send one boy and one girl aged twelve to eighteen each year to the Hunger Games—a deadly battle broadcast live.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers for the Games to save her sister. The girl has been on the brink of life and death before, and survival for her is second nature, but she realizes that she probably won't return alive. Katniss becomes a participant in the deadly struggle, but in order to win, she must make a choice between survival and humanity, between life and love.
