The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

In this book, the country is split into districts. Each district send tributes to go in as a 'raffle' to take part in the Hunger Games. One from each district is chosen at random and those tributes go into the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is basically a tournament to the death; the one most skilled in killing and surviving wins!

Katniss and her sister wait and hope they don't get chosen. Because their family is poor, they have to put more 'raffles' to get food and survive. As people were getting picked and cries were cried, Katniss and her sister began to tremble. "Prim Everdeen!" Effie Trinket calls out. Guards go to pull Prim up to the stage as she screams and resists their strong arms.

"I volunteer as tribute!" Katniss then shouted. Katniss thought she will have a way better chance than her sister would at surviving. That was the first time in a very long time that someone had volunteered as tribute.



I really recommed this book to everyone over the age of 12. It contains a lot of violence and may be too mature for some kids. But overall, this book is hard for a lot of people to put down because of how well it is written and the never-ending action it provides.
