The Story: Katniss Everdeen lives in a future world called Panem, controlled by the Capitol. Every year, the 12 districts of Panem are forced to submit 2 tributes( boy and girl) to play in the Hunger Games- a televised fight-to-the-death game. The winner will receive fame, fortune, and glory. But what happens when Katniss' little sister Prim's name is drawn to be a tribute? Since she knows Prim can't survive, Katniss volunteers to take her place as the tribute. Now, can Katniss survive the Hunger Games and possibly become the second victor District 12 hosts? And what happens when her fellow tribute, Peeta Mellark, declares his love for Katniss in front of all of Panem? Is he telling the truth or just playing a game? It's the game within the Games. Will Katniss buy into Peeta's speech? Only one can win the Hunger Games.
Chloe's Critique: OH MY GOODNESS. What an amazing book! I was a fan of the Gregor the Overlander series already, but this book has made it official- Suzanne Collins is my favorite author ever! The Hunger Games has a little bit of everything: action, violence, and even some romance too! This is easily one of the best books of the year and the trilogy is the gold-standard for sci-fi writers. Warning: very addictive. You won't be able to put it down or stop thinking about it.
