The Hunger Games

AHHHHHH!!!!! Have you read this book yet?

Suzanne Collins had already made a name for herself writing The Underland Chronicles series. Her latest book, The Hunger Games is a runaway success with fans like Stephan King, Stephanie Meyer, and your favorite librarian (me!).

Here's what Stephanie Meyer has to say:

"I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn't have to stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it...The Hunger Games is amazing."

I couldn't agree more.

In the Hunger games, 16 year old Katniss and her family are living in Panem a land that used to be the United States but is now split into 12 districts and is rules ruthlessly by The Capital. Long ago, the districts rebelled against The Capital and were defeated, one of the terms of their surrender is that each year, every district must give two children, a boy and a girl between the ages of 12 and 18, to the Hunger Games. In the Hunger Games, 24 "tributes" must fight to the death on live television. In District 12, the poorest district, Katniss' 12 year old sister has been chosen for the Hunger Games. Before anyone could change her mind, Katniss volunteers to take her place.
