16-year-old Katniss Everdeen is thrown into a national death tournament involving the 12 Districts of Panem. The Capitol controls everyone and holds the annual Hunger Games. For the 74th annual Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers for her sister and competes against the Career tributes, fierce and violent tributes and forms alliances with a small tribute. Her and Peeta Mellark are competing for District 12. The only question is, will they make it?

I recommend this book for people aged 13 and over. It is captivating and impossible to put down. I thought it would be bad, but I started reading and couldn’t stop until I was too tired to continue. The sequels are Catching Fire and Mockingjay. There is a parody by the Harvard Lampoon called The Hunger Pains. I recommend you read all of them.
