In a dark vision of the near future, twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live TV show called the hunger games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed. When 12 year old primrose Everdeens sister steps forward to take her place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But her katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature.(CC) Attrib. NonComm. NoDerivs
