Summary

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. One boy and girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen must participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Asixteen-year-old girl named Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sisters place in the Games. Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature.
