The Capitol forces each district to send one boy and one girl into a fight for death each year to keep the districts in line. The fight to death, known as the Hunger Games, is broadcasted on live TV, and only has one victor. Katniss is sixteen years old, and has volunteered to enter the Hunger Games in the place of her little sister Prim. Katniss has been close to death before, and survival is like a second nature to her. But if she were to win, she would start having to make hard choices. Survival or humanity? Life or love? The road ahead of Katniss is hard, if she wants to survive.
