How much are you willing to sacrifice for the people you love? For Katniss Everdeen, the answer is her own life. In a post-apocalyptic world, North America is divided into 12 Districts who must, as punishment for a brutal rebellion against the Capitol, provide two children to fight to the death in The Hunger Games. When her little sister’s name is called at the Reaping, a horrified Katniss volunteers herself as tribute. Now she must fight for her life against all odds. While her talent with a bow and arrows is exceptional, will it be enough to save her when she is forced into a battlefield with experienced fighters? Will she be able to put friendships aside in the bloody battle to the top? Find out who wins in The Hunger Games.

''A very compelling read. This book captures the readers heart and interest right from the start. It brings to mind the horrors that humanity can put one another through, and how resilient and strong we can be. ''
