What it's about:
Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.

My grade: A
Who Will Like it: If you like action/fantasy books. This takes place in the future, and if you don't mind lots of characters dying.

Jennifer Lawrence plays the main character. I would never have recognized her with her dark hair!
I really want to read this! Hopefully I will be able to soon!
