THE HUNGER GAMES
 |
| First book |
In this gripping young adult novel set in a future with
unsettling parallels to our present, the nation of Panem consists
of a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying Districts, in
the ruins of the area once known as North America. In this
stratified society where the Capitol controls all resources,
16-year-old Katniss and her friend Gale forage for food
in the woods surrounding their impoverished District. The
main support for both their families, Katniss and Gale are
apprehensive about the approaching annual Reaping, when
two “tributes” between the ages of 12 and 18 will be chosen by
lottery from each of the 12 districts to compete in
The Hunger Games, a survival contest on live TV in which
teenagers fight to the death.
When her beloved younger sister Prim is chosen as one
of the “tributes,” Katniss volunteers to go in her sister’s
place. Her fellow tribute from District 12 is Peeta, a boy with
whom she soon develops a complicated relationship. After
traveling to the Capitol and undergoing elaborate training and
preparation, Katniss and Peeta are launched into the Game.
In the terrifying events that follow, Katniss must marshal all
her skills to stay alive and all her emotions to remain a caring
human being in the face of the stark brutality of the Games.

THE CATCHING FIRE
 |
| Second Book |
Katniss and Peeta have returned to their home District, but
the return is hardly triumphant. Haunted by nightmares of
the brutal deaths in the arena, Katniss is confused by her
feelings for Peeta, while her relationship with her hunting
partner and oldest friend, Gale, is changed in subtle ways.
Most challenging, though, is her relationship to the leaders
in the Capitol. Her act of defiance in attempting a double
suicide at the end of the Games forced them to allow both
her and Peeta to live, and there are intimations that Katniss
has now become a symbol for rebellion in the Districts. The
Victory Tour, designed to remind the people in the Districts
of the power of the Capitol, may be having quite a different
effect this year.
Then President Snow announces plans for the Quarter
Quell, the 75th anniversary Games. Every 25 years the Capitol
devises a new twist for the reaping, and this year they
announce that the tributes will be chosen from among the
victors of previous Games. Thrown into the arena once more
with Peeta, Katniss’s strategy must be different this year,
but even Katniss doesn’t realize the implications of these
Games and the outside forces that are gathering strength to
undermine the entire society.

THE MOCKING JAY
Katniss has been rescued from the Quarter Quell, along with
several of her allies in the Games, but Peeta is now a prisoner
of President Snow in the Capitol. As she recovers from her
trauma in the arena, Katniss becomes aware that the rebellion
has begun in earnest, orchestrated by District 13, the place
she once believed was obliterated in the last war. Gale, along
with his family and Katniss’s sister and mother, has escaped the
destruction of District 12 and all are now settling into a new life
in the vast underground installation that comprises District 13.
Katniss is reluctant at first to assume the role planned for her—
the face of the rebellion, the Mockingjay. Only after a televised
interview showing Peeta in the hands of the Capitol does she
understand what she must do, using the costume created for her
by Cinna before he was killed. But she is uncomfortable with
the orchestrated and controlled handling of her “image” and the
militaristic members of the rebellion, especially the calculating
leader, Coin. Determined to be the one to assassinate President
Snow and to help bring about the downfall of the Capitol,
Katniss once again finds herself in an arena—only this one
represents a life or death struggle for the entire society. Katniss
faces critical choices: Whom should she trust? What should her
role be? Do ends justify means? What is right and wrong? What
truths must she follow?
