Imagine you're trapped in a country that randomly chooses two people from your town every year to fight to the death in a no-holds-barred battle called the Hunger Games. Imagine that this battle is nationally televised, and all of your friends and family are forced to watch.
This is the world of Suzanne Collin's book series The Hunger Games, a future America destroyed by war and flooding, and rebuilt into a cruel dictatorship that uses the Games to keep the country in line. The books follow heroine Katniss Everdeen as she takes her sister's place in the Games. Will she survive? What will she have to sacrifice to win?
Join the book club in tackling The Hunger Games, just in time for the movie to come out in March 2012! We'll meet in the Flint River Library at 4.00 PM, January 26th. See you there!
