It is the first of a trilogy telling the story of Panem and its narrator, Katniss Everdeen.  \nKatniss is a sixteen-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called “The Hunger Games.” The terrain, rules and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When her sister is chosen by lottery, Katniss steps up to go in her place. ([www.suzannecollinsbooks.com](www.suzannecollinsbooks.com))  \nThe Capitol and the Game Makers, who rather enjoy watching twenty-four children kill each other on what is essentially reality TV, require the Districts to treat the Games as a festivity, a sporting event. The last Tribute alive receives a life of ease back home and their District receives gifts of grain, oil and sugar for a year. Throughout the story of The Hunger Games, an air of rebellion and uprising develops, however, it is the subsequent books, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, that flesh out these ideas.  \nThe film adaptation was released March 23, 2012.  \nLength: 374 pages  \nLocation: Panem (the ruins of North America have been divided into thirteen districts, each with their own industry, and the shining Capitol); The Arena (a vast outdoor area in which the Games are played, varies from year to year)  \nRecommended Reading Age: thirteen and up (due to some violence)  \nCharacters  \nKatniss Everdeen: Sixteen years old. The main character and narrator of the story, everything is seen through her perspective. She is tough, strong and self-reliant. Since her father was killed in a mining accident when she was eleven, she has been providing for the family by hunting outside the District.  \nPeeta Mellark: Sixteen years old. Baker’s son. He is described as genuine and funny. Becomes partner to and love-interest for Katniss during the Games.  \nDistrict 12:  \nGale Hawthorne: Eighteen years old. Katniss’ best friend and fellow hunter. Provides for his mother and two brothers after the death of his father in the same accident that took Katniss’ father.  \nPrimrose Everdeen: Twelve years old. Younger sister of Katniss.
