What happens when a society turns the murder of children into must-see TV? In the nation of Panem, built on the ruins of North America, this isn't a hypothetical question-it's an annual ritual. The Capitol, dripping in wealth and excess, forces each of its twelve impoverished districts to send two teenagers into an arena where they fight to the death. Only one can emerge. The rest become entertainment, their final moments broadcast to a nation forced to watch. This is the Hunger Games, a punishment for a long-ago rebellion and a reminder of who holds power. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen never imagined she'd become a tribute until her twelve-year-old sister's name echoes through the town square. Without thinking, Katniss volunteers to take her place, stepping into a nightmare designed not just to kill her, but to make her death compelling television.
