Summary: Set in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem is controlled by a wealthy, decadent Capitol that forces each of its twelve impoverished districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the annual Hunger Games—a televised fight to the death. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister’s place, she is thrust into a brutal arena where she must balance survival with humanity, defiance against the Capitol, and impossible choices.
