The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

5.0

In the ruins of a place once known as North America, lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts.
The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games.
But Katniss has been close to dead before, and without really meaning to, she becomes a contender in something that grows to be bigger than she ever imagined.
But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weight survival against humanity and life against love
