The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins shared by caisa

Sometime in the future, there are 12 districts replacing a once known country called North America. Every year, one boy and one girl are selected from each district to participate in the Hunger Games. You win, you receive a fortune of food: grain, oils, bread, etc. You lose, you die. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark were chosen to be the tributes, or representatives, for District 12. During the Games, deaths occur, love grows, and above all, allies form. The two tributes will be forced to work with one another to stay alive. Two possibilities lie for their future; they are killed by another tribute, or they are destined for fame and return home.
