Katniss Everdeen is the main character (trust me, she's so much better than Bella from Twilight). She's only a teenager, but she's a tough and talented hunter who puts food on her family's table. Her father is dead and she lives with her mother and sister Prim in District 12 in the country of Panem. Every year the Capitol of Panem hosts an event called the Hunger Games where two "tributes" – a boy and a girl – are drafted from each of the twelve districts to be brought to an arena and fight to the death. Only one person can win. This is to remind the country not to rebel – and for entertainment, of course. This year, unfortunately, Katniss's little sister is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss volunteers to take her place. Her experience in the Hunger Games is something you do not want to miss. So please go read it - NOW! You can thank me later <3
By the way, the movie is coming next year! I can't wait!!
