Basically, it is set sometime in the future of North America, there were 13 districts, which rebelled against "the Capitol". 12 Districts were defeated, and the 13 was obliterated. Now, to make the districts pay, the Capitol holds "The Hunger Games" every year. One boy and one girl is drawn from each district and put into an arena with all the other tributes, while all of Panem watches. They must survive and be the last one standing, so 23 children die each year. The story is in the point of view of 16 year old (I think) Katniss Everdeen, when she volunteers to take her little sister's place in the games. It seems depressing and glum, but it's really good! If you've read Fablehaven or Kingdom Keepers, or even the Mortal Instruments series, I think you'll like this book. The second one is called "Catching Fire" and the third book, Mockingjay, comes out on August 24th, in 58 days.
(Possibly) Back after a long hiatus!
