What is The Hunger Games about?
In the dystopian nation of Panem, the Capitol maintains control by forcing each district to send a boy and a girl to participate in the annual Hunger Games—a televised fight to the death. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister's place, she enters a brutal arena where survival means confronting both physical challenges and moral dilemmas. With her life on the line, Katniss must navigate alliances, betrayals, and the ever-watchful eyes of the Capitol.
