Hunger Games                                       
 Written by Suzane Collins 

Do you want to read an action packed, nail biting story? Well, the Hunger Games is the
story for you. This is a book full of drama, action and adventure. 

The Hunger Games are set in an arena in the Capital and in District Twelve. In the
country of Panem. The places are fictional. Hunger Games is set in the future. 

Katniss Everdeen is the main character in the book. She lives with her mother and sister
Prim in District Twelve.  She enjoys using a bow and arrow and hunting with her friend
Gale. She volunteers to take her sisters place to go to the Games. She ends up winning
but the story isn’t done there. 

Peeta Mellark lives in District Twelve with his parents. He works with his parents in a
bakery. He enjoys painting and icing cakes. Peeta has met Katniss before a few years ago
. Katniss was starving and slumped on the street. Peeta risked getting a spanking and
chucked Katniss some slightly burnt bread they were throwing out.   

When Katniss Everdeen volunteers to go to the Hunger Games she goes on a death
defying journey to keep herself alive. Katniss must find allies to win. When the rules
change Katniss has to fight to keep herself and Peeta alive. Will they make it out alive? 

The connections I have to Hunger Games are that I have a younger sister like Katniss
and Prim. I also have a cat like Prim’s cat Buttercup. I really enjoyed reading Hunger
Games because I enjoyed the action and tension. 

I recommend this spectacular book (and series) to people for 12 and over because
there is a lot of violence the very beginning.
