Title: <\/strong>The Hunger Games<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author:<\/strong> Suzanne Collins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genre:<\/strong> Young Adult Fiction, Dystopian fiction. Adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review by:<\/strong> Chantelle, LCA Intern for Library HQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis: <\/strong>In a bleak future, twenty-four girls and boys are poised against each other in a live TV show called The Hunger Games.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is just one rule: Kill or be killed. Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sister’s place when she is called to take part in the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katniss has brushed death before. For her, survival is second nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review: <\/strong>In a world where the lower classes are divided into districts, and the rich gorge themselves in a city called Panem, Katniss Everdeen works arduously to protect her family. So when her little sister is chosen in the Reaping, the ceremony that chooses the twenty-four children who will take part in that year’s Hunger Games, she acts fast and volunteers herself instead.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katniss has skirted death a time or two so it’s not too daunting. But she struggles to keep her wits about her when Peeta Mellark is chosen beside her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peeta had extended an act of kindness toward Katniss, years ago, but she never said a word to him. She never had the chance or the courage to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the two are locked in the arena together. And somehow, the two battle the crude games together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would recommend The Hunger Games<\/em> to teenagers who enjoy adventure with a slight edge.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy The Hunger Games, definitely check out the rest of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
