The Hunger Games
In this dystopian future, after the current countries have failed, Panem is the civilization that exists where the US is now. It is made of one Capital City and 12 supporting districts. There were 13 districts but one was destroyed when the citizens tried to revolt.
Now the Hunger Games are played each year to remind all citizens of the power the government (aka the Capital City) holds over them. In each district two tributes are chosen - one male and one female - between the ages of 12 and 18. These contestants fight each other to the death in the ultimate reality television show.
In District 12 the day the participants re chosen is a day of fear for all families. This is the first year that Prim is entered into the drawing. The odds are in her favor with only one slip of paper with her name - but she is chosen none the less. In an act of bravery her sister Katniss volunteers to go in her place.
Now Katniss must fight twenty-three other tributes to stay alive - including Peeta, the boy who gave her family food when they were on the verge of starvation.
