The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

by Suzanne Collins · The Hunger Games series

In a dystopian future, sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister's place in a televised fight to the death where only one of twenty-four tributes can survive. Collins crafts a searing critique of violence as entertainment and authoritarian control, anchored by an unforgettable heroine who becomes the spark of rebellion. Brutal, propulsive, and emotionally devastating, this is survival fiction with revolutionary heart.
