Once each year a boy and a girl are chosen from each district of what’s left of North America to fight to the death in the Hunger Games - a nationally televised event where the participants are pit against each other in an unknown territory to fight to be the last tribute standing. When Katniss Everdeen’s little sister gets chosen as a tribute, she fears her sister cannot survive the brutality of the games. Katniss volunteers to take her sister’s place since she knows she has a better chance of surviving the games than her younger sister and this is her last effort to keep her family safe. Katniss knows she’s good with a bow and arrow, but will that be enough to keep her alive during the Hunger Games?
