In the nation of Panem, the wealthy Capitol maintains absolute control over twelve surrounding districts through fear and oppression.

Every year, each district is forced to send one boy and one girl to compete in The Hunger Games—a televised fight to the death where only one tribute can survive.

When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister's place, she enters an arena where survival depends on intelligence, determination, and impossible choices. Alongside fellow tribute Peeta Mellark, Katniss must battle deadly opponents, navigate political manipulation, and decide how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice to stay alive.

As the Games unfold, Katniss becomes more than just a competitor—she becomes the symbol of something far more dangerous than anyone could have imagined.

Thrilling, emotional, and impossible to put down, The Hunger Games is a modern classic that continues to inspire readers around the world.
