The Hunger Games

About this book

The Capitol controls Panem's districts through an annual spectacle in which young people are selected for a televised fight to the death. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen enters a contest designed to turn survival into entertainment for an audience.

The immediate dangers of the arena exist alongside the political power behind the Games. What she does to stay alive is therefore never entirely private: every choice takes place within a system that wants the districts to remain obedient.
