The Hunger Games, a science fiction novel by bestselling author, Suzanne Collins, was published
on September 14, 2008. It has already become the hot book for teens, having received great
reviews and even better word of mouth buzz. Although categorized as "Young Adult", The Hunger
Games, due to its violence, may be too intense for preteens. However, teens of all ages, and
adults are eating it up. The author has two more books planned to create a trilogy.
The Hunger Games takes place in a postapocalyptic Earth in the (hopefully) very distant future.
The actual games are a combination of the reality show "Survivor" and the Coliseum of Ancient
Rome. From the book jacket:
"In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol
surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send
one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games,
a brutal and terrifying fight to the death, televised for all of Panem to see."
The heroine of the book is 16 year old Katniss Everdeen. She takes her sister's place in the
Hunger Games and then struggles with the fight to survive and life versus humanity and love.
The overwhelming sentiment by nearly all readers is that they can't put the book down. It is fast
paced and action packed. You can learn more about the Hunger Games at the Scholastic web site
and on Amazon.
