The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is about Katniss who volunteers in a deadly game to save her sister, Prim. Katniss volunteers to be a tribute in the Hunger Games when Prim's name gets picked for her to be in the Hunger Games. This killing game, the Hunger Games, is when twenty four children from twelve districts fight to the death to remind the districts of what they caused when they fought the Capitol. Two children are picked from each district, a boy and a girl. After that, the children are taken to the Capitol where they are prepared for the games, and then they are finally released into the arena where they literally kill each other. In the end there is only one child alive out of twenty-four people. Katniss survives most of the game by herself, fighting off tributes and even the Careers, who are trained to fight in the Hunger Games. Then Katniss meets Rue, who is a small little girl from district eleven. They live and survive together until Rue sadly gets shot and killed by an arrow. Then there is the ANNOUNCEMENT. The new rule is that two people can survive only if they are from the same district. Katniss runs to find Peeta, the boy from her district. She finds him badly hurt, so, through a series of medicine, Katniss heals him. They "fall in love" for the crowd in the Capitol. In the end, Katniss and Peeta win the hunger Games!
