This book is awesome! I first heard this of this book back in fourth or fifth grade, and a lot people said it was really good, like really, really, good (it's a science fiction). So I decided to try it, and when I finished it, I was going crazy for the next book. It's in the voice of a 16 year old, named Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America (and there are 12 districts). So, every year, they have these games called the hunger games, where a boy and a girl between the ages of 12-18 (tributes) gets randomly selected from each district, and they have to fight with each other to death until only one person is left. Katniss Everdeen is from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Hunger Games after her younger sister, Primrose is randomly selected. Ohhhhhhh I could go on forever, but now you MUST read it...(if you're of age and if your parents let you)...
