The Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins
Pages: 374
There are boys and girls as young as twelve prepared to kill others until one person is left in the arena. It’s all a “game” for entertainment. Katniss Everdeen was drawn from the reaping ball to compete against 23 others in the Hunger Games, an event established after the Dark Days when the thirteen, now twelve, districts rebelled to keep them reminded that the Capital is in charge. Two from each district are picked and her district partner is Peeta, a boy who saved her life five years before. Who will come out of the arena alive?
