The Hunger Games

I recently re-read a book called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  It is about a post-apocalyptic United States of America.  The country has been decimated by war, but Panem, made of the Capitol and 13 Districts, has risen from the ashes.  The story follows a girl named Katniss Everdeen and her life in District 12, Panem's coal mining district.  Each year the districts are forced to give tributes, one boy and one girl, to participate in the Hunger games, a competition where 24 tributes battle to the death.  Katniss step up to save her little sister, Prim, thereby making her a contestant.  How does Katniss deal with her decision?  Will she survive the Hunger Games and return home a victor?  Read the book to find out!
There are two more books in the trilogy, called Catching Fire and Mockingjay.  I highly recommend these to anyone who likes sci-fi or survival books.
Keep reading!
