Katniss Everdeen woont in het 12e en armste district van Panem, het land dat ooit bekendstond als Noord-Amerika. Met haar moeder en haar zusje Prim leidt ze een armoedig leven, getekend door het keiharde regime van het welvarende Capitool. Jaarlijks worden de Hongerspelen uitgevaardigd: 24 door loting aangewezen tributen, een jongen en een meisje uit elk district, gaan een strijd op leven en dood met elkaar aan. En dit jaar wordt Prim uitgeloot... Katniss weet dat de Hongerspelen een doodvonnis voor haar jonge zusje betekenen en besluit haar plek in te nemen. Onder het oog van de hele bevolking van Panem, die de strijd als bron van vermaak volgt, begeeft ze zich in de gemanipuleerde arena.
Gevangen in een meedogenloos web van bruut geweld, gemanipuleerde tv-beelden en corrupte politici komt Katniss voor de keus staan: hoe ver zal ze gaan om te overleven?

Work Description
The Hunger Games is a 2008 dystopian novel by the American writer Suzanne Collins. It is written in the perspective of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the future, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, exercises political control over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games is an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle royale to the death.
The book received critical acclaim from major reviewers and authors. It was praised for its plot and character development. In writing The Hunger Games, Collins drew upon Greek mythology, Roman gladiatorial games, and contemporary reality television for thematic content. The novel won many awards, including the California Young Reader Medal, and was named one of Publishers Weekly's "Best Books of the Year" in 2008.
The Hunger Games was first published in hardcover on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic, featuring a cover designed by Tim O'Brien.
