The Hunger GamesTeen Zone New Fiction Main Level– COLLINS
The United States of America no longer exists; it has been devastated by war, fire, drought, and famine. Panem is the new country. Panem is separated into the Capitol and twelve districts. There used to be a 13th district but the people of the district rebelled and the Capitol erased them. Once a year to show how in control they are the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl (ages 12-17) to compete in the Hunger Games. There are 24 contestants and only one winner. In District 12 Katniss volunteers to take the place of her sister Prim and Peeta is chosen as the boy. Each moment of The Games is televised for everyone to watch. The winner of The Games gets a house to live in with all the amenities; running water hot and cold, and enough food and money every month to last a lifetime. Katniss and Peeta form a bond that can never be broken as they struggle and fight to win The Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins pens a brilliant trilogy about strength, courage, and desire. If you are intrigued by book one, check out book two, Catching Fire and due out in Fall of 2010 is the conclusion, Mockingjay.
