The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games, a 374 page novel by Suzanne Collins, tells the story of Katniss Everdeen a sixteen year old girl who has to compete in the hunger games to save her life. Katniss lived an ordinary life barely scraping by, then the day of the reaping her sister,Prim, was called to enter the hunger games*. Katniss out of love leapt to the stage to take her sister's place in the games. In the interveiw before the games Peeta ,the other tribute from district12, declared his love for her, but it was "supposedly" to get donors form the rich Capitol residents for neccesities needed in the arena. In the arena Katniss did her best to stay alive, and along the way there is a rule change so that she and Peeta could stay alive and she had to maitain the star-crossed lover title so she set out to find him. When Katniss finally found him he had blood-poisoning,burns,and  tracker-jacker stings Katniss needed to heal soon or he would die.Will Katniss and Peeta stay alive? I recomend this book to any one who likes science fiction, romentance, adventure, historical fiction, or people who just like to read.

* the Hunger games is where you go in an arena with 23 other tributes and try to stay alive until you are the only one left. If you win your district is showered in riches each month.
