The Hunger Games is a book about survival and courage. It takes place in a country called Panem which has 12 districts. Once a year, a boy and a girl from each district are selected to fight each other in the Hunger Games. The survivor of the games wins food for their district for a year. Katniss, a teenage girl from District 12 chooses to fight in the Hunger Games. The boy tribute from District 12, Peeta, becomes good friends with Katniss. Based on the rules of the Hunger Games, they may need to kill each other in order to win the games. The dilemma that these 24 children faced was that in order to win the Hunger Games, they had to kill the other 23 kids.
It is a great book because it reminds the reader that we are in a great country and that you don’t have to worry about being chosen to play in the Hunger Games and risk being killed. The author Suzanne Collins, did a great job writing this book and ending each chapter with a feeling of suspense that made me want to read the next chapter. I read this book in my English class and really enjoyed it. The Hunger Games is the first book in a 3 book series. There is also a movie made based on this novel which I look forward to watching.
