Summary
EDITORIAL REVIEW: 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.
