America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual
televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the
twelve districts against one another, sixteen-year-old Katniss's skills
are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister's

annual Hunger Games pits young children against one another in a battle
to the death on national t.v., so when Katniss is ordered to represent
her district, she knows an important decision between survival and the
love of another will have to be made when she is called to enter the
ring. 75,000 first printing. 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
Katniss is a 16-year-old girl
living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of
Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the
districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the
surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to
appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The
terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one
thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by
lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
