From the inside flap of Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before---and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
Now this wasn't so much of a find at a store, but rather I found a package on the kitchen table when I woke up. So I need to definitely give a shout out to Alyssa, Jake, and Gregory over at Teens Read and Write because I won this book from their blog. So thank you very much!!! And I love the bookmarks you sent with them : )
What did you find???
