The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsTwenty-four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.
Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

freakin LOVED this book! one of the best I've read!
ReplyDeleteThis was so good! Now I can't wait to read the second to find out if Katnis ends up with Peeta or Gale! The suspense was killing me through this whole book! Good pick Mindy Lu!
ReplyDeleteI have not read it yet but I just got it from amazon. If I can find time I am going to get to it. Raelynn as been nagging me to read them so, that is why I picked it. I hope I can find time to read now that I am Student teaching. I might be hit or miss on the books for a while.
