Katniss lives in District 12 in an area of the world that used to be called North America, before the war. Now this area is comprised of 12 Districts and the Capitol. Life is hard in District 12, but sixteen-year-old Katniss has managed to put food on the table to feed her mother and little sister since her father died in a coal mining accident years ago.
Each year the Hunger Games take place at the Capitol. Two people, one girl and one boy, from each district between the ages of and 12 and 18 are selected at random to compete in this competition. No one is safe from being selected. When Katniss' little sister is selected in her first eligible year, Katniss immediately volunteers to take her place. Because no one from District 12 ever wins the Hunger Games. And if you don't win, that means you are dead. There can only be one winner, one survivor.

Can she outwit and outlive the other 23 contestants, including Peeta, the familiar baker's son from District 12? Will she kill another human being in order to survive?
