The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scholastic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780439023528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Black-Eyed Susan Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/21\/2011 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/04\/2011 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2010 pg. 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/25\/2010 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/10\/2010 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/05\/2012 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAsimov's Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2015 pg. 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e123740 \/ Hunger Games\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 15\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Suzanne Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38027643158709,"sku":"9780439023528","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4ab3930b-240a-4109-beeb-faa132c8c615.jpg?v=1609193400","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-hunger-games-9780439023528","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
