The Hunger Games

Set in a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show called The Hunger Games forces twelve boys and twelve girls to appear in a live event. The sole rule is: kill or be killed. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister's place in the games, she views it as a death sentence. However, Katniss has faced death before, and for her, survival is second nature.
