The Hunger Games Series

If you have not seen the films yet, read the book first. If you have seen the films, read the books anyway (because they are so much better, trust me). Suzanne Collin's dystopian series is set in a newly formed North America. Twelve districts in Panem surround the wealthy, yet unique, Capitol city. Each year, one child from each district is selected to fight to the death in the popular Capitol event:The Hunger Games. These novels tell the story of young Katniss Everdeen, and her desperate attempt to change the oppressing social structure of Panem. (click on the book to view on amazon)
